Gustavo Cabral (born July 20, 1963), better known as Ciruelo ('plum tree'), is an Argentinefantasy artist,[1][2] whose work focuses especially on dragons.
Ciruelo Cabral was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was born with color blindness. At age 13 Cabral enrolled in Instituto Fernando Fader, an art school, where he began his formal studies. He started working as illustrator at age 18 for a graphic advertising company, and soon after began doing comic covers. In 1987 he moved to Barcelona, Spain where he drew fantasy books' covers and inside drawings for Timun Mas, a publisher that specializes in the genre.
Cabral uses mainly acrylic and oil painting, but also a number of other techniques, including his famous and distinctive paintings on rocks, which he created and calls "petropictos" (literally: stone paintings). He has published four books with his drawings: The Book of the Dragon (1990), Ciruelo (1990), Luz, the Art of Ciruelo (1997) and Magia, the Ciruelo Sketchbook (2000).
