THE ART OF MARIO NEVADO
Cover Artist, Illustrator & Designer
Dark. Surreal. Unapologetically Human.
Hey! I’m Mario Nevado, a freelance digital artist and cover designer with over 20 years of experience designing colorful and dramatic visuals for music albums, books and films. My style blends dark surrealism with vivid color palettes to create striking, emotional imagery that is hard to ignore.
Bands, authors and art directors hire me for a reason: I don’t do safe. I design covers, posters and packaging for clients who want their project to stop their fans dead in their tracks with artwork that looks as intense, strange and unique as their own stories.
If your story is impossible to ignore, I’ve got you covered.
Hey! I am Mario Nevado, a Digital Artista Poster Designera Storyteller

Hey! I’m Mario Nevado, a freelance cover artist and independent art director from Spain with over 20 years of experience in the art trenches. My clientele includes industry leaders such as Adobe, Harlequin and Hachette, as well as more than a hundred of music bands, authors and filmmakers. Some highlights of my career include screenings of my art on the exterior walls of the MoMA and Guggenheim museums, winning an Exposé Master Award by two consecutive years, and contributing to the Emmy-nominated, 3 Cannes Lions winning spot “Dream On” for Adobe Photoshop’s 25th Anniversary, which premiered at the 87th Oscar Academy Awards.
I am passionate about turning great stories and albums into striking works of art using my signature colorful and dramatic dark surrealism. Being a cover artist is more than a job for me: it’s a way of life! I am your perfect match if you are looking not only a designer for your next project, but someone that can advise you in the music, editorial and licensing industries. Think of me as your next creative partner in crime!
