Inspiring creativity. Founded by Olivia Triggs in 2007, Breed is a London-based illustration agency representing a select group of highly individual talents. We currently look after the work of 15 artists, illustrators and photographers, each with their own distinct style and perspective.

We pride ourselves on both the vision and variety of our artists and the lasting role we play in nurturing their talent, supporting their creative goals and finding opportunities where they can further explore their abilities.

With a hands-on approach, a culturally aware outlook and a spirited attitude, we’re the UK’s go-to agency for original art, photography and illustration.

We work with clients in spheres ranging from advertising and brands to fashion and retail and more. Below you can see a few of the names we’ve worked with in recent months.

Valero Doval

Born in Valencia, Valero graduated in Fine Arts before moving to London in 2004. Since 2006 he has been a freelance artist and illustrator, living and working between the UK and Spain.

He works primarily in collage, mixed with illustration, combining found imagery of nature, technology and everyday items with delicately hand-drawn elements.

Over the years he has worked on everything from packaging design to editorial commissions and collaborations with brands, for clients including The Guardian, Goop, Google, Kenzo, IKEA, Liberty and Wallpaper*. His personal work, meanwhile, has been exhibited across Europe, and in the US, Australia and Canada.

We’ll leave the final word in describing what he does and why he does it to Valero himself:

‘Some of my work is autobiographical, some of it explores the lives of others, and some of it is purely abstract. Art has always been my chosen method for exploring life’s mysteries, and so creating art, for me, is a process of self-understanding.’
