One of my first thoughts after coming
across these illustrations was “how have I never seen this artist’s work
before?”, because they are freaking amazing.
Few too many artists today have the
courage to tackle important social commentaries with their art. But
Spanish artist Luis Quiles has undoubtedly broken this mold with his series of illustrations that depict a relevant and unfortunate reality for our world today.
Through his art, Quiles challenges a
wide range of controversial issues ranging from over-the-counter drug
addiction, censorship and corruption to sexism, violence, child abuse,
and most pertinent of all, our cultural social-media-crazed obsession.
There is something raw and hauntingly
telling about the commentaries being expressed through each
illustration, perhaps in part due to the apparent truth that exists in
the messages. Many of them are difficult to look at, but all of them
stand as an accurate representation of the conundrums which plague our
world today.
Take your time with this one to enjoy these fantastic pieces of art! And lastly, viewer discretion is advised.
*Edit: Art is open to subjective
interpretation, and these are just my interpretations of Quiles’s art.
Feel free to share your take on the illustrations in the comment section

Proper nutrition keeps us running at our optimal cognitive and energetic capacities, a lack of nutrition keeps a nation lethargic and docile.
