Mario Sanchez Nevado

The award-winning Illustrator and Art Director, Mario Sánchez Nevado, runs the Madrid-based studio Aégis Illustration, creating artwork and designs for bands and publishing houses all over the world.

His distinctive, surreal aesthetic and his caustic approach on storytelling has granted him global recognition. With a solid yet ever-evolving personal style, his striking collection is deeply woven with bold, stinging narratives. His vibrant color palettes are key to the atmospheres and scenery of his signature dream-like environments. Critiques of society’s morals, politics and canons are viscerally felt between the lines of his works. Part magical storyteller, and part sobering messenger of society’s ills, Mario’s work compels a deeper consideration of the world around us.

In his own words, Mario aims to “design great things for people who have a story that needs to be told. This is not a job: It’s a way of life.”
