PEPE SERRA
I am an illustrator but I prefer to be considered as a graphic communicator.
I am currently based in my studio of Tarragona developing conceptual illustrations for newspapers, magazines and advertising around the world.
I really love translate words into conceptual images. In order to accomplish this commitment I use digital illustration, this way of work give me the speed and agility I need to work for editorials.
