Luis San Vicente
Born in Mexico City, the eldest son of Don Miguel and Doña Pilar, Luis San Vicente showed a devotion to drawing since his childhood and embedded artwork on notebooks, papers, desks, and any surface that allowed ink or pencil. With childhood ambition, he studied graphic communication design at UAM. For almost twenty years, he worked as the coordinator of the art department of the Reforma newspaper. He has illustrated more than 50 children's books for publishers in Mexico, the United States, and other parts of the world. His work has been recognized with several national and international awards, having won twice the catalog of illustrations for children and youth and been the recipient of the Noma-Concours Encouragement Prize.
