Interviewed by Graphi Magazine

Graphi Magazine -Koldo Barroso

I’ve been interviewed by Graphi Magazine, a new born e-magazine by Studio Eighty5 located in Florida and dedicated to supporting illustration, graphic design, and photography artists around the world. It’s been an honor to me to be featured in the cover of the first issue as well as been interviewed.

In the interview I talk about influences, motivations, and other stuff. The magazine also features the works from some great artists such as Gillian Oconnoe, Jorge Pinto and Oliver Maqsud. If you want to read some gossip about me, you can download the PDF.

The only sadenning point is that my “Song of the Sea Goat” illustration was badly resized and disorted in the article, I wish this had been taken more care of.

    ¡Hey, tramposillo, pero si en esa entrevista no hay nada de “gossip”! ¡Yo quería más cotilleoooo! ;-)

    Koldo, como siempre tus palabras en la entrevista destilan ese amor y esa ilusión tan contagiosas que brotan cada vez que hablas sobre ilustración (en realidad también sucede cuando hablas sobre cualquier otra cosa). Sí que tuvo que ser emocionante el asunto de la ilustración de la canción sobre Miles. No te preocupes por lo de la ilustración de la cabra, seguro que quienes lean la entrevista seguirán el enlace a tu web y podrán verla en condiciones.

    Congratuleixons and kip ap de gud uork!

  3. @ Vanix- Las transparencias… me gustan dependiendo de lo que dejen ver..
    Los fantasmas… lo que es gustar no me gustan, pero intento llevarme bien con ellos…
    Más me gusta tu comentario y más aún tus dibujos ;-)

  4. Iban- ¿Pero qué más quieres? Mi vida no da más de sí para jobitear… :-I

    En serio, muchas gracias por tu apreciación pero no olvides que esa ilusión de la que hablas se nutre de las cosas que nos rodean y de gente como tú ;-)

    Felicitaciones Koldo!!! la portada es brutal!!!me bajaré el pdf para leer la nota…

  8. @ Bett- Muchas gracias, tú siempre trayendo buen rollo.
    Bueno, la portada no la hice para la revista, es una ilustración que ya tenía, pero creo que como portada quedó bien, iban a poner la ilustración de la Kuruta, pero creo que ésta quedaba mejor y se lo sugerí.

"I received the package!!! Your talent is awesome! Thank you so much I love them. I have already framed them and have put in a place where my gaze will fall upon them frequently. I’m sure that everyone that visits my studio will also feel the Magical Radiance of your Work. I feel so lucky. I feel like I own a museum piece!

Nadiia Evans
How delightful. Thank you for the all the care and skill you have put into this illustration. I was touched and intrigued by your particular interpretation of "C'est La Vie" to see how you had taken the piece beyond its original form of a study in melancholy.

Peter Sinfield
Through Koldo Barroso’s art we see magical characters and are drawn into an enchanted world. His storytelling captures your imagination and heart as he weaves life into each of his drawings. I am in awe of his incredible talent and passion for not only his work but for life.

Erin Hammill
"It is pure joy to enter the imagination of artist & writer, Koldo Barroso. His is a world of delightfully whimsical and bizarre characters brought to life with sensitivity, skill and humour.

This is creativity at its very best - inventive and poetical, its charm simply magnified upon repeated viewing.
Truly magical."

Lorell Lehman
Koldo Barroso is a brilliant and very original artist. His uniquely beautiful style of illustration is inspirational. You can feel the joy and fun that runs through all of his work.
We were blessed to have him do the illustration and cover design for our album "Life Stories" and couldn't have been more delighted. I feel his energy and wonderful artwork are as much a part of the album as the music itself, it so captured the mood and meaning of the project.
