Written by his 'virtual' friend Vicente Duque. No relation
We have never met, except on the Internet and because of Art.

Born in Colombia in 1961. In 1990 Julian established the Toro-Duque illustrators Ltd. firm, were he directed an eclectic group of up and coming illustrators. They were offering services to publishing and advertising. The firm was intense in drawing, coloring, and commercial illustration techniques. Julian loved working in Children's books. His illustrated book of 'Don Quixote' is a masterpiece. It's for collectors.

In 1995 Julian moved to the United States. While in the US he has worked for the Dallas Convention & Visitor Bureau, illustrating a poster for the world cup. He has also exhibited along with other 30 artists at the North Park Center. In 1996 Julian exhibited at Florida Museum of Hispanic and Latin America Art's exhibition: " The heritage of Latin America ". He has featured in an exhibition for the Latin America Festival at the Argentinian Consulate in New York, where he introduced his latest collection of drawings titled: Angels on Earth.

Besides his publishing work . His pictorial work is represented in private collections in Colombia, United States, and several Latin American countries. He is very intense on the drawing and painting of the human body and is applied to this. As you can see in this page. I think that Julian is a serious artist, with a vocation and application. This type of art is not for easy laurels, but for someone who loves expression and wants to contribute to a better world.

My friend likes the challenge of drawing the human body and expression. But he enjoys painting very tender scenes of frogs, butterflies, and fairies for children.
