David Maynar Gálvez (Zaragoza, 1970)
Freelance children’s book illustrator

Graduated in Fine Arts from the Sant Jordi Faculty of Barcelona, I am part of the Tsit-Lab (Laboratory for the Treatment and Synthesis of the Image), where I complete my doctorate courses.

With a long career in the publishing world I have illustrated: narrative books, textbooks, youth comics, digital applications and numerous educational campaigns.

I collaborate with entities and NGOs such as: Unesco, Red Cross, Fundació Oso Pardo, La Caixa, Futuroescope, Fundació Lucía (Pediatric AIDS), Barcelona City Council, Editorial Anaya, Casals, Edebé,, Timun Mas, Imaginarium, Tekman education or Vicens Vives among other.

Thanks to the Cossetània and Lectio ediciones collection «The biggest for the little ones», I can make the lives of great artists like Picasso, Gaudí, Dalí or Mozart known to the youngest with my illustrations. I also coordinate the Creative Workshops of Fundat (Atades) for girls and boys with disabilities where together we learn to create picture books.

I love to share my drawings in exhibitions such as “Paseando la mirada” Palace of the Lonja (2018-2019), “Babalunga i Kamolongos” at the “Baba Kamo” Illustrated Book Fair in Valencia 2020 or "Goya y el Cómic" , Zaragoza 2021.
