What does it really mean to be an illustrator? | Gusti
For Gusti, with over 30 years of experience, the answer lies not in technical skill or the perfection of the line, but in the ability to connect with the spirit through the paper.
In this profound conversation, we explore how drawing becomes a tool for brutal honesty, a bridge to humanity, and a way to accept our own fragility. From his beginnings in animation to the personal transformation brought about by the arrival of his son, Mallko, Gusti teaches us that in art, the most difficult thing is not learning to draw, but learning to unlearn in order to see again with the heart.
