Hi, I’m Patricio Clarey, a 2D artist and art director based in Barcelona with over 20 years in the entertainment and editorial world. I specialize in covers, illustrated books, and graphic novels, and I’ve collaborated with publishers like Titan Books, Capstone, and Panini Comics Spain. I enjoy turning complex ideas into compelling visuals and thrive in collaborative, international environments. Beyond drawing, I handle layout, storyboards, concept art, and video work; I’ve worked with agencies such as Illozoo and June Illustrations and I’ve pursued self-published art books and a tarot-deck Kickstarter. I’m proficient in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, iMovie, GarageBand, and Office, and I love helping narratives come to life through strong visual design.
