Genzoman with his real name Gonzalo Ordoñez Arias is a great illustrator born in Arica port, from Chile’s North. He currently lives in the capital of Chile, Santiago.
The genre of art approached by Genzoman is that of “magna and anime”. The characters illustrated by the artist are part of the following art categories: fantasy, horror, sci-fi, monsters, game development and political. In my opinion he is one of the most talented artists in this field. His working tools are very few but extremely valuable, namely: imagination and Wacom Intuos tablet. Heroes of Genzoman’s work are not real . Are exaggerated, even deformed, but in a way pleasing to the eye. These are specific features found in the author’s work. We compare Genzomanien’s works, with some pictures taken from the bottom to up assembly, in a less inclined plan. This artist’s characters look like “the giant in the country dwarfs”, increasing even more “fantastic picture of Genzoman world”. This technique applied by the artist conjures us to cartoon “Gulliver in Lilliput”, who has delighted childhood. I think this cartoon, could be an inspiration for the new art technique encountered at Genzoman!

Malinche – La Malinche known as the Malin or Malintzin was born in 1496 in the border area of the Aztec Empire and the Maya of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Her reputation was permanently modified by social and political changes, especially after the Mexican Revolution. Marina remains a controversial figure who alternates between right and wrong, victim and traitor or simply the mother of the new Mexican people.
