Demian Godoluz is the artistic pseudonym of Aldo Domínguez (born May 14, 1983, Paris, France), a comic book artist, colorist, writer, and illustrator based in Uruguay. He is known for his contributions to editorial, institutional, and entertainment projects, and is an active member of various artistic collectives and an advocate for labor rights in the creative sector.

Biography

Very private about his personal life, it is known that at age 15 he cycled across Uruguay and that at least one of his parents was exiled during the civic-military dictatorship in Uruguay. He currently resides in the city of Atlántida, Canelones Department, Uruguay.

Career

His first published comic appeared in the weekly newspaper Voces in 2001, where he illustrated the final page. Since then, he has worked as a freelance illustrator for advertising agencies, publishing houses, and entertainment companies, creating comics, storyboards, editorial design, character design, and board games. In 2018, he decided to devote himself exclusively to illustration.

In 2019, he became the first Uruguayan illustrator to have his work broadcast nationally, during the May 1st International Workers' Day message by the PIT-CNT (Uruguayan national trade union center).

His passion for comics began in childhood when his mother taught him to read using comic books.
