Salvador Ortega
Behind the pseudonym 'Sloe' is Salvador Ortega. A young illustrator originally from Torrox (Málaga). Currently he lives in Castellón where he studied Illustration at the Escola d'Art i Superior de Disseny.
He shows a great creativity at concept level, always seeking the most original way to solve his projects, creating characters is one of his strengths in a style that moves between fantasy and caricature. He uses digital and traditional techniques, sometime all together.
His digital illustrations are usually characterized by the use of polygonal forms, bright colors and photographic textures that give life and nature to his characters; he also avoids using black color for shadows achieving soft volumes. Artwork done by traditional techniques focus on more specific issues such as portrait and animal world.
