Gregori Saavedra was born in Barcelona. He graduated in Information Sciences from the University of Barcelona, and soon entered the world of advertising, where for ten years he worked as a creative director. Yet the very discipline that sharpened his craft also inspired him to explore new forms of expression, and in 2003 he turned fully to illustration. His illustrations speak of time, memory, and the strange beauty of excess, where what is overwhelming becomes, paradoxically, clarity.

Corey an illustrator and visual storyteller specializing in character-driven worlds for shows, publications, games, and digital experiences. His work lives at the intersection of drawing, design, and narrative, where personality, clarity, and tone matter as much as style.
Stylistically, his work leans bold, graphic, and slightly off-kilter, informed by a lifelong love of cartoons, comics, zines, and pop culture. While his work often leans playful and character-forward, he’s comfortable adapting my voice to fit a wide range of audiences and projects, always aiming to make images that feel alive, intentional, and memorable.
