"Behind Illustrations is a compendium that presents the current panorama of illustration where professionals the world over make their work known. A range of illustrations with great visual diversity owing to the contrast of styles and cultures. But the book does not merely reveal their creative work. Each artist has at her disposal a space where she can reflect upon her own work and her own profession. This reveals the person behind each style and project, providing different visions of a profession they all have in common but that is at the same time different for each one of them."
