Luis Toledo Laprisamata is a Madrid-based digital artist and illustrator known for densely collaged, detail-heavy images that fuse religious and mythological iconography with invented rituals and symbols. Drawing on classical art history and the symbology of different cultures, he builds a recurring fictional universe he calls the Blue Desert.
He worked as a senior art director at Young & Rubicam before turning to illustration for the music industry. The agency Dutch Uncle represents his illustration and commercial work. His illustrations have accompanied music by artists including Weezer, Gary Clark Jr. and Antemasque, and he illustrated the first novel written by Pete Townshend of The Who. In 2022 he curated “ArtBabel”, described as the first exhibition in Madrid dedicated to art and NFTs, which drew more than forty thousand visitors.
