About Me

I am Luis Sevillano, a visual journalist and developer in the Visual Narratives team at EL PAIS.

My journey into visual journalism began over a decade ago through D3.js and data visualization. Over time, my focus shifted toward maps and cartography, which have become my primary specialty and the area where I find the most creative fulfillment. I produce both static and interactive pieces, selecting the format that best serves the narrative.

I studied History at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and later completed a Master's degree in Ancient History. That background still shapes how I work: start from evidence, build context carefully, and keep narrative structure clear.

Outside of my professional work, I was a musician for many years and I still maintain a deep interest in music. I also spend as much time as possible outdoors, usually hiking and exploring the landscapes near the small city where I live, not far from Madrid.
