LEONARDO RODRIGUEZ · ILLUSTRATION ARTIST

I’m Leonardo Rodríguez, an illustration artist and cartoonist born in Venezuela and based in Barcelona. For over 30 years, I’ve been drawing with ink, watercolor, and curiosity. My work blends traditional techniques with contemporary themes, and has appeared in publications like MAD Magazine, Esquire Spain, and Simon & Schuster. I’ve illustrated books, created characters for animation, and performed live drawing at international festivals across Europe and the Americas.

  • Whether it’s a caricature drawn in seconds or a layered watercolor tribute, I believe illustration is a way to connect — with humor, with memory, with the world.
