Manuel Rebollo


Manuel Rebollo is an artist that has sparked my attention lately and is also an inspiration for me in the illustration game. He is an artist from Spain so it is hard to translate most of his stuff unless you have a translator built into your computer or browser. The thing I like about him is the fact that not only does the characters look real there is a message to each image. Some portray a mindset, a feeling, inspiration, or pretty much anything you can think of.  Looking at each of the females you can see that each has their own personality to them. The way they look the way they are positioned has a reason. Some show passion, anger, joy, confusion, frustration, curiosity, etc. This is why I like his works because they express emotion he makes them seem as though they are people and not just images.




Each image has a message to them that can touch anyone. Looking closely it seems like he has done this for a while now because of the details that he has put into each image.  From the eyes to the lips and even the hair he makes your eye and brain work at the same time forming a story that goes along with the image. At times it seems like he uses the basic colors black and white but the ones that uses color stand out the most without him having to do much. He does a great job working with the space around the image. This is a good example of putting your passion into your work. Here is his website/blog for more stuff from him. ENJOY!!!


This is my favorite on by him, it is titled ''GOLD''.
