Juan and Alejandro Mingarro, born in Spain in 1978 and 1981. We are brothers, friends, enemies, illustrators, artists, amateur tech designers, video enthusiasts, bocadillo de fuet lovers, lecturers, occasional musicians. In 2007 we founded our studio in Barcelona where we work with all of the above disciplines through commissions, personal projects and exhibitions. Our work has been published, exhibited and awarded worldwide.

 

For us, the creation of such artworks involves building up a set of stories around each character, finding something unique and special to just them, and fine tuning every detail until the characters feel ready to step, run or jump off the page!

 

Always inspired by the characters that inhabit them, our universes range from being very simple to highly intricate. We believe they’re essential telling a story and that’s why we approach our work on them with great curiosity and consideration.

 

Yep! We also love to explore other media and formats than 2D illustration and breaking the boundary between the audience and our art is always exciting! That’s why interaction, installation, and sculpture are very important to us.

 

Somehow it was always meant to be! Growing up as brothers, our creative partnership began at an early age. We spent our childhood in Spain drawing comics, building vehicles for our toys, and shooting action videos on our parents’ camcorder. A few years after graduating from Elisava School of Design, we joined forces once again when we founded Brosmind.

 

We are very grateful being able to work with our biggest passions! This has been made possible through collaborations with great clients such as Apple, Adidas, Coca-Cola, Google, Nike, Ray-Ban, The NY Times Magazine, National Geographic, Land Rover, Pepsi, Facebook, Honda, TOUS, Gillette, HP, Beefsteak, Oreo, Vogue Taiwan, Mobile World Congress, FNAC, Mailchimp, Phish, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Le Monde, Bicycle, TOYO Steel, and Hypergames.
