Xav Drago

Create a dream and share it.This is the creed that animates Xavier Drago in his approach.
A creed that he constantly wants to highlight little by little, the secret in his daily work, Xavier is a passionate self-taught.

His first graphic click occurs when he discovers the manga L'Habitant de l'Infini (Hiroaki Samura), which inaugurates for him a radically different way of thinking about the art of the line while he is in the midst of searching for his style.

Later, he developed a fanzine with the intention of bringing together around him talents in drawing, photography and writing, in order to promote the creation of a multi-genre work.

Soon after, his decisive encounter with the internationally renowned painter Marc Ferrero invited him to join the Storytelling art movement.

Freelance artist (illustrator, painter and sculptor) since 2009, Xavier works mainly for the 20th Century Fox, notably making posters of artists as well as sculptures.

While using digital techniques to make his illustrations, he tries to get as close as possible to a traditional rendering that blends well with the classic references he likes to tint his works.

 
Some of his works were exhibited at the New York Comic Con 2016 and the Comic Con Experience in Brazil in 2017, but also in temporary exhibitions dedicated to Deadpool in Japan or X-Men Apocalypse in Argentina.
On the occasion of the global promotion of the film Independance Day Resurgence, his poster dedicated to France was the subject of a national poster campaign.

His sculpture for The Greatest Showman was relayed by actor Hugh Jackman on social networks as well as that of Deadpool by actor Ryan Reynolds.
More recently, his painting of the vinyl record in tribute to Freddie Mercury was published on the social networks of the legendary Queen group.
