Edgar Rozo is an expert in digital illustration from Bogotá, Colombia, whose style is characterized by geometric shapes, vibrant colors, fantasy elements, and textures that simulate three-dimensionality. He has collaborated with brands such as CNN, BBC, adidas, and Movistar, among others.
His training in multimedia engineering provided him with the basics in graphic design and programming, although his career has more recently been focused exclusively on illustration. Many of his pieces are inspired by pop culture, and his portfolio includes numerous reinterpretations of famous people from music, cinema, and sports.
