He has worked as a freelance illustrator since, developing changes and evolving his style whilst trying to express his own vision of the world through his art. While studying design, Pablo developed an interest in negative space and graphic elements, which ended up shaping his illustration style.

Thematically, he explores issues from urban spaces and contemporary life, in both a physical and psychological context.

After finishing his studies, he started working at a local art school (ESDIP) teaching illustration. Currently, he complements his work as a teacher with freelance commissions for publishers, advertising agencies and individuals.
