He contributed a lot of creativity to the design in the pages of the newspaper Crónica/Nación Media, with its focus being the covers of the aforementioned newspaper for both print and digital. He also left his mark, based on his own maxim: “A smile for my people, a joy in my soul” in the caricatures of school products to which he dedicated his fine lines for more than 25 years as the creator of Populín and Bochito.
It will be a great opportunity to appreciate all the artistic wealth of this influential cartoonist-screenwriter, whose legacy is the impact he caused with his works on Paraguayan culture, through his close three decades in the media, at the service of graphic humor and digital design.
Yor was also a founding member of the Dibujapy cartoonists association and participated in samples such as Cháke!
