Nelson Ponce Sánchez

He is an illustrator and graphic designer, especially known for his Vampiros en La Habana (Vampires in Havana) poster, as well as his active participation in the Camaleón collective.

His family moved in Nuevo Vedado when he was 14, and he now lives with his fiancée and her parents in Cayo Hueso (« Bone Key »), Centro Habana.

He also refers to American or Spaniards graphists such as Milton Glaser, David Carson, Javier Mariscal and Isidro Ferrer.

The turning point in his career came in 2001, when he formed the Camaleón collective with his ancient ISDI students - Idania del Río González, David Alfonso Suárez, Darién Sánchez Castro, and Eduardo Sarmiento -.

Three years later, when the G café was remodeled – the Cuban literary hangout at the intersection of 23rd and G in Vedado -, they reiterated the experience : the group painted, in one day too - and without any brushes - another mural depicting cartoony notion of good and evil.
