Mario Carpe

Mario Carpe is a graphic designer working from his home studio in Prague, Czech Republic. He was born in Cádiz, Andalusia, a southern paradise surrounded by sun, sea, friendly people, jokes, and seagulls. Mario moved to Madrid and got a double degree in Law and Business Administration from the University of Charles III. Whilst studying he spent most of his free time drawing, painting, and investigating art and design. He then became a graphic designer and illustrator, and today works on creating distinctive and bold visual solutions for global brands and clients. 

Music in all its manifestations and the culture that surrounds it is a big influence on Mario’s work. He describes; “When I was a child I dreamed of a job that would allow me to listen to music. I remember wondering if that would exist. Just imagining a job where I couldn’t do it seemed boring to me. Today, I can confirm that kind of job exists“. He has worked on projects for advertising, branding, packaging, editorial design, and fashion, for clients big and small across a range of industries.Mario’s studio is simple, clean, and has everything he needs; papers, Moleskine notebook, Post-it notes, pencils, pigmented ink pens, Molotow and Posca markers, a 27 inch iMac, a Canon scanner, a HP color laser printer, and tons of coffee, of course!

Mario considers sketching a basic pillar of his creative process; “I’m very energetic and passionate when creating and always want to pass to the action and see the result as soon as possible“. However, this experience has shown him the importance of sketching before starting digital work. “Sketching also allows me to make more visible my style and leave my personal signature on the final artwork” says the designer.

”I design illustrating, I illustrate designing” is Mario’s motto. He concludes; “I believe that design can be illustrated and illustration can be designed, taking the best of each field to create unique, strong, and eye-catching visuals“.
