Qiké Quintero
​
Coming from a Hispanic background, Qiké was exposed early to stories that dealt a lot with magic realism.
This has always been one of the main interests in his work. Being somewhere in-between reality and fantasy.
Qiké's first encounter with art was when he was five years old when he made a paper kite at school.
It wasn’t until a year or two after the paper kite experience that his mother drew a cow for him on his homework assignment, he knew he had to learn how to draw someday.
After many years of honing his skills, reading about the masters, and working tirelessly to gain technical art skills he knew that the path for him was to continue this rough and yet rewarding road of being an artist. He loves bringing visual worlds and stories to life. Whether it be with Photoshop, drawing, oils, watercolors, pen and paper. Qiké is currently a teaching artist at Creativity Explored; his work has been featured in Society of Illustrators student competition, 3x3 Magazine of Contemporary Illustration, City Lights (Taiwan)
