Illustrator and comic creator, Elio Guevara
was born in Venezuela.
In 1994, he moved to the United States to pursue a career as an illustrator.
Receiving a scholarship in 1998, he moved to Georgia to study at the
Savannah
College of Art and Design where he received his MFA in Sequential
Art two
years later.
He focuses with intensity on his concepts and aesthetic priorities,
trying
to draw feeling, not the image of feeling; trying to create an image
that is
real without being descriptive; and trying to reach sacredness and
fantasy
without losing the human. His art struggles between the figurative,
abstract
and free-associated. His work has been featured in publications such
as
Image Comics and Spectrum.
Elio Guevara now lives in Atlanta, Georgia where he spends his time
doing
free-lance illustration and teaching at The Art Institute of Atlanta.
