"I love everything that screams femininity, holiness and c*nt in all ranges of its spectrum."
About me
Born and raised in Mairena del Aljarafe (Sevilla) and currently based in Fuengirola (Málaga), I am a Digital Artist and Freelance Illustrator known as Captain Amyk. My artistic journey began with a Fine Arts degree from the University of Seville, where I honed my skills in managing commissions and cultivating my online presence.
​
Over the years, I have transformed from an amateur artist into a versatile creator, continually refining my technique and expanding my style. Today, I illustrate educational resources for Twinkl LTD while also developing a diverse portfolio that includes original illustrations, fan art, and merchandise. My commitment to quality and creativity ensures that each project is approached with passion and precision.
​
My art celebrates popular culture, femininity, and the iconic figures of my childhood, drawing inspiration from the vibrant spirit of groundbreaking LGBTQ movements. I wholeheartedly embrace femininity, recognizing its rich complexity and the inspiration it provides. While I appreciate the traditionally sweet and demure aspects of femininity, my work often features cheeky, spicy, or even macabre elements, reflecting a broad spectrum of expression. This unique blend allows me to create pieces that are not only visually striking but also thought-provoking.​

I started as an amateur and have evolved into a proficient and versatile illustrator through self-learning and practice. This journey has led to numerous private commissions and a robust portfolio of original illustrations and designs, which I monetize through prints, bags, and various merchandise.
​
Additionally, I actively participate in events and conventions, showcasing my work in artist alleys, which has further expanded my reach and community engagement. This ongoing experience has also enhanced my skills in graphic design and online presence management.

With five years of experience and counting, I handle a diverse range of requests for educational resources. This has honed my skills in efficiency, adaptability, and the ability to research and create culturally relevant and pedagogical content.
Thanks to this extensive experience and self-learning, I have become proficient in various editing software, including Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. I also excel in website management, budgeting, and task management across multiple areas, allowing me to efficiently handle diverse projects and meet client needs effectively.
​
I see this as just the beginning of my artistic career, with countless opportunities ahead. I am eager to collaborate on diverse projects that challenge norms and push creative boundaries, such as book cover illustrations, art direction, and character design. These opportunities excite me and will enrich my artistic journey, allowing me to expand my techniques and resources. If you're looking for an illustrator who brings passion, innovation, and a distinctive perspective to every piece, I would love to work with you and help bring your vision to life.
