Roger Olmos Pastor (born 23 December 1975) is a Spanish illustrator. He is known for his work in children's literature , animal rights advocacy, and vegan advocacy. He has illustrated more than eighty books for Spanish and international publishers, and is noted for his collaborations on projects promoting animal rights, veganism, and ethical awareness.
Early life and education Olmos was born in Barcelona and developed an early interest in illustration , spending time in his father's home studio where he observed him drawing and painting. He was influenced by artists such as Brad Holland , Caza , and Brian Froud . [ 1]
From 1995 to 2000, he studied at the Llotja Avinyò School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona. Following this, he undertook a six-year apprenticeship as a scientific illustrator at the Dexeus Clinic in Barcelona, where he gained experience with textures and anatomical illustration.[ citation needed ]
Career In 1999, Olmos met his first publisher, Kalandraka, at the Bologna Children's Book Fair , and published his first book, Tío Lobo , with them the following year.[ citation needed ]
Since then, he has illustrated more than eighty books for a wide range of Spanish and international publishers, including Edelvives, Penguin Random House , Macmillan , Kalandraka, Oqo Editora, Ediciones B, La Galera, Teide, Anaya, Edebé, Planeta , Baula, #logosedizioni, Melhoramentos, Bromera, Editions 62, and Pirouette.[ citation needed ]
In addition to book illustration, Olmos has collaborated with advertising agencies, illustration schools, and television channels. [ 1]
Animal advocacy Olmos is a vegan and an animal rights advocate. He collaborates with FAADA (Foundation for the Counselling and Action in Defense of Animals), a Barcelona-based animal protection organisation. This collaboration led to the publication of two books with the Italian publisher #logosedizioni: Sinpalabras / Senzaparole (2014) [ 2] and Amigos (2017). [ 3]
Sinpalabras received praise from figures such as Jane Goodall and J. M. Coetzee . [ 4] Olmos described the book as "one of the most important and personal" of his career. [ 5]
