Thiago R Santana
Art director + illustrator

I don't like to talk about myself. but here we go...

I'm graduated on graphic design.
I'm not into being stuck in one style, even though I know I'll always have my inluences and I know they have a big role in the way I create things.
Since I was an annoying child I love to draw, paint, cut, paste and to collect magazines.
There's something that hipnotizes me everytime I enter in a bookstore.
Nowadays I work as a freelance art director/graphic designer and illustrator making visual works for books, magazines and adverts.
Feel free to contact me to talk about my work or any commissions. I'll be pleased to answer to any question.

 

Thiago R Santana
Diretor de arte + ilustrador

Eu não gosto de falar sobre mim mesmo, mas...

Sou formado em design gráfico.
Desde que eu era uma criança irritante eu adorava desenhar, pintar, cortar, colar e colecionar revistas.
Eu não gosto de me prender a um único estilo, mesmo sabendo que sempre terei minhas influências e que estas têm uma grande participação no modo em que eu crio as coisas.
Há algo que me hipnotiza sempre que entro numa livraria.
Atualmente trabalho como diretor de arte/designer gráfico e ilustrador freelancer criando trabalhos para livros, revistas e propagandas.
Sinta-se à vontade para me contactar para falar sobre meu trabalho ou me contratar. Terei prazer em responder qualquer pergunta.

 

 

"Thiago Santana utilizes the entire color palette in creating beautiful illustrations, thereby wowing his audience with the works of versatility and endlessly invigorating graphics. Black and white is not the word for him; whereas psychedelic would be a much suitable word for Thiago Santana.

The intensive use of colors in his design not only light up the dullest moments of our lives, but work as an antidote for the lifelessness and monotony of the mundane as well. This Brazilian freelance illustrator and graphic designer is wild about experimenting and continuously brings forth mind-blowing designs – a passion that we hope never fizzles.

Shaking off our yellow-black, TAXI dons a colorful outfit and sneaks into the mind space of the man who paints more colors than the rainbow can hold." (designtaxi.com)
