Cristóbal Schmal Illustration
Cristóbal Schmal grew up in Arica, in the Atacama Desert — one of the driest places on earth. His greatest inspirations include the Chilean communist graphics of the 1970s, German Modernism, old typography, and travels. He has made posters for the Bauhaus Archive, illustrated Russian poets of Baku for a magazine in Azerbaijan, and worked for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Greenpeace, and Lufthansa. He now lives in the countryside near Frankfurt and teaches Drawing Workout online.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
