A Colombian Artist Turns Deep Truths Into Charming Comics, and We Just Can’t Get Enough
Visual communication is key when it comes to illustrations. All illustrators are required to communicate their ideas through their creations and Andres Colmenares has taken them to the next level. He started his illustration project by using everyday objects that play different human roles and narrate different situations and lessons that all of us have encountered at least once in our lives. Through his work, he shares the love, difficulties, heartbreak, and comedic side of life that all of us can relate to!
