REIQ started his studies in graphic design at degree level in the year 2000, as there were just a few academic options available in his home country to develop his talent as an out and out artist. During that period he was the best in his class. Delivering art work with high levels of originality. In the same year he launched his first website www.reiq.ws, which in 2006 got more than one million visitors. He never stopped drawing during those years and as soon as he finished his degree another stage of his career had already begun.
Reinaldo had been working as a graphic designer in several firms also as a freelance, but his desire to be an illustrator was always there. while he was working as a graphic designer he was developing his fantastic skills by publishing a large amount of his work on his website and in magazines around the world. by 2005 a huge fan base was built and a waiting list of comissions had already become a reality. as an artist he knew he had to quit his job as a graphic designer and dedicate himself completely to his true passion, illustration. since then his career has followed an unbelievable path, a path that will ultimately see him regarded as one of the most promising digital artists of his chosen style.
