Biography

Leonard Beard, born in England, moved to Barcelona where he developed a career as a painter and later as an illustrator. Today, he works from a studio in a tiny village between the Pyrenees and the northeast coast of Spain.
Beard considers each illustration a work of art. With a unique blend of British irony and Mediterranean spirit, the illustrator’s personal style has matured after years of learning his craft.
Beard’s editorial illustration is sought after for its strong graphic elements, three-dimensionality, and the powerful messages it conveys. His work is featured in newspapers and magazines across the globe.
