Gueli González is a Spanish illustrator, born and raised in the Andalusian city of Jaén. From a young age he loved animated fairytales, which inspired him to start drawing. He studied Illustration and later specialised in Concept Art and Character Design in Lightbox Academy and U-tad, under the academic supervision of renowned Spanish artists, whose work on the beloved Disney classics had inspired him in his early years. He then worked as an intern in WildBrain (London), and Skydance Animation (Madrid). His first work as a concept artist was on the Goya Award winner short film "Madrid 2120" for Lightbox Academy.
