Tell us about your background?
I grew up in Colombia, the most crazy, violent, fun and surrealistic country. A lot of meat and blood and piñatas too. Now I’m in France the paradise of royal-pork-butchery. I’ve always loved the word the word “under” and “into”.
Have you had artistic studies and was it useful for you?
Yes, a lot! until today, not very useful but very amusing. A lot of people.
How would you explain your style of illustration?
The Apology of velvet, meat and pornography (aesthetic sense); Like a pig who goes to the restaurant and find his father became into a sausage.
What programs do you use to create your illustrations?
It depends, a lot of handly real work with oils, inks, etc. But also digital cinema4d, illustrator, photoshop, etc.
What are your creation processes?
1. to itch my head / 2. to think in a very stupid thing / 3.to give an asylum value to this stupid thing / 4. to draw it / 5. to show to everbody / 5. to shake vigorously / 6. Et bon appétit!!!
Thanks Fernando Nieto for having taken his time to make this interview with us
Interview done by Flavio Monteiro for UAILAB

I really have a couple of styles of working, my highly rendered work is more influenced by traditional fine art, then theres a more commercial side that is favoured by the editorial, publishing, fashion market.
I got involved with illustration four years ago. I’m self-taught, I have no degree (or anything close to it), nor any professional training.
I try to do whimsical and abstract drawings. I think my style is a mish mash of the ways that effort ends up coming across.
