Luis Fernando Hernández

Luis Fernando Hernández, who was born in Cobán, Alta Verapaz, is an illustrator and designer. From a very young age, he felt a strong interest, which he inherited from his father, in art, especially in drawing and painting. At the age of 8, he received third place nationally in an art contest organized by UNICEF. It marked his decision to keep art in his life. At the age of 18, he moved to Guatemala City to begin his university studies, where he completed a degree in Graphic Design, a master's degree in Strategic Design and a specialization in Illustration. His favorite techniques are watercolors, ink, and digital. Some of his illustrations have been exhibited at La Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, El Palacio Nacional de Guatemala and in 4 Grados Norte collaborating for Food for the Hungry in the exhibition Alas de Papel. This is his first experience illustrating a children's book.
