ART BY CATRIEL TALLARICO

Catriel Tallarico is an Argentine illustrator whose work focuses on atmosphere, emotion, and narrative imagery. His illustrations often explore themes of darkness, introspection, and the human condition, combining expressive drawing with a strong sense of mood and symbolism. He works across editorial illustration, book publishing, and personal projects.

Catriel does not prompt AI to generate finished images. Many pieces begin as direct hand drawings, which are then scanned and completed digitally in Photoshop.

His workflow combines traditional and digital techniques. In many cases, he begins with hand-drawn sketches and linear pencil work, which are scanned and further developed digitally. He works primarily in Adobe Photoshop, where he build the final composition, refines values, color, and atmosphere, and completes the overall finish of the image.

His approach focuses strongly on visual storytelling, atmosphere, and aesthetic coherence, carefully balancing compositional structure with the emotional impact of the image.
