Raül Casado
Illustrator
I’m Raúl Casado Art, an illustrator from Mallorca, a Mediterranean island that inspires every stroke of my work. My art reflects my deep connection to the sea, nature, and my passion for surf culture. I enjoy working with a minimalist and retro style, using clean shapes, bold outlines, and a vintage color palette that evokes a sense of nostalgia and timelessness. I draw inspiration from Mallorca’s coastal landscapes, my surfing experiences, travels, and the little details of everyday life. My goal is to convey emotions and capture the essence of movement and nature in every piece, creating works that connect visually and emotionally with the viewer. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with international clients such as GoPro, Quiksilver, GreenDog California, One Wheel, Waterborne Skateboards, and North Shore Surf Shop Hawaii, as well as exhibit my work at events like the Portuguese Surf Film Festival and local galleries. Each project is a new chance to express myself and explore the connection between art, nature, and surfing. I always seek to create during the moments of the day that inspire me most: mornings and sunsets, with soft light that fuels my creativity, always accompanied by a good cup of coffee.
