LUSMORE DAUDA
David García Echave (Palma de Mallorca 1972)
Illustrator and film director based in Senegal.
Collaborator of the newspaper Planeta Futuro-EL PAÍS, África Mundi among other media.
I started in the illustration because of the need to communicate, to transmit emotions, to narrate the world from a critical perspective. Over the years, I have been learning based on unlearning and simplifying my vision. The illustration allows me to speak without words and to bring the outlook to its rightful place as a listening system. During the creative process of creating simple images about complex contexts, life experiences and reality always end up nourishing my images.
