Redescovering Ballestar
Dive into the fascinating world of Vicente Ballestar (1929-2014).
Ballestar is recognized around the world for his Dark Pulp genre and supernatural illustrations,
which still continue to captivate fans and collectors of the best illustration art.
His covers for the "Geisterjäger. John Sinclair" (John Sinclair. Ghost Hunter), made him a cult artist.
Since the 1970s, Ballestar created nearly a thousand stunning scenes in gouache for this German cult novel, a horror detective series written by Jason Dark.
Vicente Ballestar reached his maximum recognition with the John Sinclair covers,
but he also stood out for his editorial successes in the Western genre with "G. F. Unger", and
with famous Spanish bullfighting posters.
At the end of 2014, after the death of the artist,
his wonderful and unknown archive came to light with hundreds of originals that were thought to have disappeared.
Our mission is to preserve, catalog and make these artworks known around the world.
