fashion illustrator --Arturo Elena



 
   Arturo Elena is a Spanish artist .With his technique and outstanding drawing skills, Elena has revolutionized the world of graphic illustration.
   Arturo Elena began working in the 80's with the design team in charge of women's collections for a well-known fashion firm in Barcelona. Over the years, he developed his career in other cities such as Seville and Murcia among others, executing designs for both men's and women's collections.
   Fascinated by Elena's unique style, Victorio & Lucchino have asked him to produce the press images for their collections and illustrate their campaigns. The self-taught artist has been doing their graphic images throughout his whole career.
   Arturo Elena has also collaborated with designers and brands such as Loewe, Chanel Spain, Audemars Piguet, and Citroen to mention a few. His illustrations have also been featured in several publications such as Cosmopolitan, Elle, Telva and other international magazines.
  He is one of Spain’s biggest kept secrets, an illustrator who has long been working away in his homeland producing the most beautifully traditional and intricate fashion drawings.
But we don’t want him to be our secret. We think it’s about time he gets the worldwide recognition that he totally deserves! All of his work is freestyle and completed only with markers, a signature style like no other as he portrays his personalized elongated figures of fashion in elegant and sophisticated forms. Each hand- drawn character being completely individual, unique and unusually lifelike.
  His agency are known for representing fashion and beauty photographers but just had to get Arturo involved as his work emits the same kind of emotion felt when admiring one of the high end fashion campaigns of a Vogue magazine. The team are proud to now have him on-board as the first internationally represented illustrator for the agency. When looking at each piece it’s hard to try and comprehend the amount of time and effort that has gone into each of his drawings, but to inspire us it only takes one look!
