«What one loves in childhood stays in
the heart forever»
As a kid, I was lost in epic adventures from the movies, stories, and comics I devoured. Today, I try to share a bit of that inner child through my draws.
Hi, I’m Ruben Candel
An Illustrator and Visual Developer Artist based in Spain. My main passion is drawing as a vehicle to tell stories. Each of my illustrations is a tiny story, a chance to build imaginative worlds and bring ideas to life. It’s incredible to share these stories with people, to become part of them and inspire them to create new ideas and stories of their own.
Over the years, I’ve created visual concepts for different companies, illustrated children’s books, worked as a 2D artist for video games, and collaborated on comic projects. This has given me a versatile background across storytelling-focused fields and helped me adapt to different creative needs
Curiosity is what keeps me moving forward — exploring new styles, techniques, and ways of working, whether through courses, storyboards, or other creative exercises. If only the day had a few extra hours to keep experimenting.
I’m open to collaborations and would love to share more of my work with you!
