The Artist
Born in Medellín, Colombia, Santiago Calle is an illustrator and animator trained at Edinburgh
College of Art in the UK. He began his career as a teacher, which led him to deepen his studies
in sequential art. Santiago partnered with his brother Juan to found his art studio, Liberum
Donum, in Bogotá in 2006. Since then, they have dedicated themselves to producing concept art,
illustration, comic strip art, and animation.
