About

A minimalist comic strip in black, white, and greys explores a poignant story by Italian artist Alonso Guzman Barone through four scenes. A humanoid figure interacting with a big orange sphere. The narrative then shifts to the scientific woman having sushi rolls while working at her desk late at night and looking at the moon. Finally, a cat looks out of an urban window marveled at the moon. The use of strong contrasts and simple shading evokes a powerful sense of mystery and introspection, capturing the essence of change and connection.

Peruvian-Italian artist working across editorial, commercial, and sports illustration. He creates both still and frame-by-frame animated illustrations, moving between clean graphic work for conceptual pieces and atmospheric, painterly storytelling with cinematic lighting. A competitive basketball background gives his sports work an authenticity that comes from inside the game. Recognized by American Illustration, NYU's American Journalism Online, Gestalten, and The FWA.
