Surreal Ink, Pencial and Watercolor Illustrations by Simón Prades

German-Spanish illustrator Simón Prades creates evocative, dreamlike visuals that blur the line between reality and the subconscious.

Using ink, pencil, and watercolor before adding digital color, he merges the tactile richness of traditional media with digital precision. His work delves into themes like memory, nature, and the human experience, often incorporating surreal elements into striking, narrative compositions. With a distinctive atmospheric style, Simón has collaborated with top names in editorial, publishing, and advertising, including The New York Times, Nike, and Apple.
