ABOUT
I’m Ricardo Ajcivinac (b. 1986), a Latin American freelance artist, designer and illustrator working across branding, advertising, music, entertainment and culture.
My practice sits between design and illustration, creating visual identities, campaigns, print pieces, album artwork, posters and editorial projects. My background in graphic design and advertising has shaped the way I approach every project: starting with a strong idea and building a visual language around it.
Illustration is an important part of that practice. I specialize in handcrafted pen-and-ink work, with every illustration drawn traditionally on paper before being digitally colored and refined. It allows me to combine the character and imperfections of traditional drawing with the flexibility of contemporary design.
Whether I’m developing a brand, creating artwork for music or entertainment, or working on a campaign, I’m interested in making work that feels distinctive, considered and made with intention.
Let’s work together.
CONTACT
I’m proud to be an official ambassador for Tom’s Studio, a brand dedicated to crafting innovative, refillable tools for artists and creators. Being part of their ambassador program means I share in their values of quality, creativity and sustainability.
I create art-driven content — mainly through illustration and design — to inspire others and connect with audiences in both English and Spanish.
If you represent a brand and want to work together, I’m open to brand collaborations, campaigns, and long-term partnerships that align with my visual style and creative approach.
I’d love to hear your ideas and see how we can create something unique together. Let’s make something that feels real, human and visually powerful.
