Tomas Ives

Tomas Ives is a self-taught artist and designer devoted to creative communication through art, illustration, design and motion. Having grown up in a convulsive political environment where expression was synonymous with resistance, his work considers the conflicts and movements that inspire changes in people and their perceptions. His figurative landscapes are guided by surrealism to trace a message through Latin American patterns, and he finds great satisfaction in sharing his work with his people and contributing to a wider consciousness of their stories. Tomas has illustrated four books, won a couple of international awards, and once stirred up Chilean politics with his drawings!
