3 More Personas by Alejandro Milà

There is no such thing as an ugly face. Only faces I haven't drawn yet.

Here are 3 more people I may have seen, or perhaps dreamed of, but who are now here to join the team of Personas by Alejandro Milà.

Just as some illustrators love drawing cars, others are passionate about animals, some about war tanks, and others about landscapes at sunset... I, like many other illustrators, I'm sure, have always been drawn to the faces of the people I encounter day to day.

Sometimes, in the quiet of the studio, I set my work aside for a moment to keep drawing, but differently. As if I wanted the company of people I've never met in my life, to help me get through the day.

And that's it — it's Thursday, and we keep on illustrating for all our clients.

Thank you all so much for staying tuned.

💛

In 2013, I had the great fortune of attending a conference by Oliviero Toscani at FID in Costa Rica. My mother and I were always huge admirers of Benetton’s fashion, largely because of the advertising campaigns Oliviero Toscani created in the 80s. 

One thing he said that really stuck with me was that he loved making portraits of everyone he met because he believed there is no ugly human being in the world.

And I think it marked me deeply because I identified so much with the master: I’m deeply interested in people’s faces and how I can get close to them by drawing the faces I see — sometimes without them even noticing.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2026 | Christmas card by Alejandro Milà

In a few days, one of the most beautiful days of the year arrives, when we gather with family surrounded by special dishes, sweets, turrones, Christmas lights, the nativity scene with Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the Three Wise Men riding their camels on their way to bring gifts to the little ones, and Santa Claus too, bringing presents on his sleigh pulled by Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

It’s a moment of wonder, hugs, and love — and a time to remember our loved ones who are no longer with us but surely watch over us from heaven.

I wish you all the very best for this Christmas and the coming year, to everyone who follows me and shows me so much love for my work, my little adventures, and daily life.

We’ll give it our all in 2026 and keep delivering beautiful illustrations to our loyal clients and to the new ones who will surely join us.

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2026 to all. ❤️
