Jorge Colombo

Visual arts

Jorge Colombo has worked as an illustrator, as a photographer, and as graphic designer for over 30 years. He’s best known for the digital landscapes he has been creating since 2009 (initially finger-painting on an iPhone, currently using an iPad Pro.) Four 20×200.com print editions from 2009 led to his first cover for The New Yorker, the first magazine cover ever created on a smartphone. His images continue appearing in The New Yorker, and publications such as New York Magazine, The New York Times, and Nautilus. His book “New York: Finger Paintings by Jorge Colombo” was published in 2011 by Chronicle Books. He regularly self-publishes small books with compilations of his work, both of illustration and of photography. Born in 1963 in Lisbon, Portugal, he moved to the USA in 1989. After living in Chicago, San Francisco, New York City, and Brooklyn, he settled down in Narrowsburg, NY with his wife, artist Amy Yoes.
