An incredible picture book, with no text, whose images tell the story of a silent and lonely young sailor who is embarking on a journey and carrying a precious cargo. During this journey two parallel worlds emerge for the reader, complementing and sometimes contrasting with each other. Words are not needed as the richness of the illustrations invite the reader on a journey that is both internal and external.
Juan Manuel Diaz was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1974. He graduated from the ORT Uruguay University as a graphic designer. Currently, he is a founding member of Estudio Puente, dedicated to visual communication. He studied drawing and painting in the workshops of the master Guillermo Fernández and Álvaro Amengual. He has worked as an illustrator and graphic designer since 1996, working for design studios, advertising agencies and press media. He was the illustrator of the cover of the novel Los mellis. A real team, by Daniel Baldi.
