El Centauro

Book design and original illustration for a 19th-century prose poem. Three hand-bound copies, exhibited at Museo de la Cárcova, Buenos Aires.

El Centauro

El Centauro (The Centaur) is a prose poem by the French Romantic writer Maurice de Guérin — a mythological meditation on nature, belonging, and the body as both human and animal. The brief was to design an edition of the text that felt as elemental as the writing itself.

The book is built on a restrained typographic system — generous white space, classical references, and a glossary of mythological figures — giving the text room to unfold without interference.

Three hand-bound copies were printed and exhibited at Museo de la Cárcova.
