Today I'm speaking with illustrator and graphic novelist Nicolás Castell. Born in Buenos Aires in 1988, citizen of Granada since 1995, he finished his master degree in Drawing in 2012, has been working as an artist with more than twenty exhibitions in the last years, as a freelance illustrator for children books, comics, in the cinema industry, embossing industry, and for music bands as well. In his illustrations, he usually likes to draw narrative scenes with elements from history and fantasy. “I like to explore the limits of the imagination; there is a nice sense of travel and freedom in this way of creating. I would like to offer a little journey to the spectator with my work. Where he can relax, imagine and feel free.” Enjoy Stroll With Alex season six, episode seven today!
