"Luis Mendo's illustrations are known for their fluid and light touch, and before becoming an illustrator, he spent a 20-year career as art director and magazine designer, and after his father died of overwork, he had little time to do anything else, so he decided to change his career. After moving from Amsterdam to Tokyo, he quickly fell in love with the city and began exploring illustration."
"His ingenious use of light and colour reflects his unique style, often capturing moments of serenity and calm in his illustrations. His work is often featured on websites, magazines and advertisements, as well as in art galleries and costumes. Customers include Apple, Forbes, The Guardian, Monocle, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Uniqlo, The Washington Post, and more."
"Because I don't speak Japanese, it's going to be very difficult to do a magazine or be an art director." I started with a B5-size sketchbook and a small watercolor box with ten simple mats. These simple tools allow him to paint "standing on a fully loaded train, a crowded whisky bar, or sitting on a stone in front of a temple."
"He often said that the process of making these illustrations was never easy." Painting is like walking on the edge of a cliff, going in the wrong direction will make you fall into the abyss of nothingness, and everything starts all over again. But he thinks that as long as he likes to paint, once he finishes painting it, he will like it even more!
