Delicate nuances, few elements and ethereal subjects, César Santillán‘s illustrations open the doors of a minimal and essential world. 

César Santillán is a Mexican artist and illustrator who, after graduating from the National Institute of Fine Arts, became a university professor of typography and editorial design. 

On Instagram he shares his personal work with his followers. 

These are delicate illustrations that often feature women captured in intimate or carefree moments. The main feature of his creations is the absolute lack of contour lines, the entire composition is the result of the sum of different geometric shapes that, only at the end, reveal the subject.

This stylistic choice makes the illustrations essential and, the use of a palette composed only of delicate and pastel tones means that the elements often blend with the background. 

No bright colors, no contrast, César Santillán’s illustrations take us on a journey where relaxation and calm reign.
