    The influences of the 30s, 60s, and 80s are evident in your style. How do these cultural and social references influence your creative process and the narrative of your works?

    My work is based on my interests since childhood, and from each stage, I gather the influences that have marked me the most. From Disney cartoons, which I later researched as an adult regarding character creation processes and analog animation, it's truly fascinating. I am very interested in how these characters have become part of popular culture worldwide and their impact across many generations.

    Ales Div

    I am Ales Div, an illustrator and designer originally from Madrid, currently residing in Barcelona. My work seeks to evoke those pure, endearing, and naïve feelings that are often lost in adulthood. In my playful universe, I combine humor with cultural and social references drawn from the golden age of American animation, 60s advertising illustrations, classic 80s New York graffiti, traditional tattoo art, and popular culture in general. Through my art, I aim to provide a contrast to the darkness and injustices of the world, awakening in the viewer that sense of innocence and joy that we all carry within us since childhood.
