Behind the artwork
I’m Pablo Uría.
I draw stories.
I’m an editorial and graphic illustrator based in Pamplona, Spain, with a Fine Arts degree from UPV/EHU and over twenty years of experience.
I create maps, book covers and interior artwork for publishers, authors and cultural projects. I’m interested in finding the visual language that makes each story its own.
My published projects include La sombra del loto negro for Minotauro, and Los Ocho Velos and La profecía olvidada for Esencia. I work in Spanish and English with clients in Spain and internationally.
