Among the talented artists pushing boundaries in this space is Estevan Silveira, a Sao Paulo-based graphic designer and illustrator whose work captivates audiences worldwide. With a career spanning over a decade, Estevan has mastered the art of visual storytelling, collaborating with publishers, agencies, and production studios to bring narratives to life.

A Diverse Portfolio in Design & Illustration

Mastering Color, Contrast, and Technique

What sets Estevan apart is his versatility and distinctive use of color and contrast. He experiments with various styles, yet his signature lies in bold compositions and clever use of positive and negative space.

This hybrid approach allows him to craft visuals that are both modern and timeless.

A Love for Storytelling & Genre Exploration

Horror and science fiction are recurring themes in Estevan’s work, reflecting his fascination with metaphors, symbolism, and pop culture. Yet, his talent isn’t confined to one genre—he thrives on exploring diverse subjects, from surreal storytelling to commercial projects. Whether he’s designing a haunting poster or a vibrant editorial illustration, his work always carries a narrative depth that resonates with viewers.
