Illustrations by Simon Prades

German artist Simon Prades uses muted color palettes to convey a sense of introspection, curiosity, and even rage in his editorial illustrations.
His works are often portraits of people intertwined with natural elements, such as winding snakes and growing plants, which combine detailed realism with abstract and surrealistic environments.
The German-Spanish artist and designer currently lives and works in Saarbrücken, Germany, and regularly receives orders from a wide range of publications, from Rolling Stone to Outside Magazine.
