About 

IMG_5852_edited.jpg

I’m Lautaro Machuca Leiba, an Argentine illustrator and 2D animator raised in Spain. I studied Illustration in Granada and later specialized in 2D Animation at U-tad.
I’m passionate about color, light, and creating atmospheres that convey emotion. Through my illustrations, I aim to capture feelings and moments, using visual storytelling to create an emotional connection with the viewer.
