Martín Pech was born in 1991. He is an illustrator and graphic designer who works in digital and physical mediums. He has worked in the fields of editorial design, branding, and digital product design. He also dedicates himself to being an illustrator for different clients such as visual artists, publishers, companies from different industries, and friends. He firmly believes that the image is a powerful medium to spread any message, which begins in the collective memory and dies in oblivion. Fortunately, few images actually die: one image works between the space of the past history of many others and the future possibility of those to come.
