Illustrations are a fundamental part of Llegendàrium because, beyond their aesthetic value, they give visual form to words. Shape, texture and colour become associated with particular concepts, stories and characters that the artist succeeds in imprinting upon our memory.

We all carry within us the image of a dragon, a fairy, a ghost or a demon; these archetypal images are the result of a centuries-old convergence of folkloric motifs, gradually accumulating until they form something we recognise at a glance and can summon in the coloured twilight of the imagination.

Artists work with these elements, drawing upon motifs from tradition or subverting others, delving into the deepest layers of collective memory and nourishing the subterranean currents of the imagination. Just as a story may be interpreted individually, an illustration offers us a shared dream.

In this section, you can discover the artists who collaborate with Llegendàrium, read in their own words about the meaning behind the details embodied in each work and the stories hidden behind every stroke, and explore the world that lies behind each illustration. We invite you to go beyond appearances with them and delve into their fascinating work.
