“Nasca” aka Armin E. Mendocilla is a Peruvian-German painter, illustrator and character designer living in Berlin, Germany. He was born and raised in the city of Munich in the early 90’s where he began to discover his passion for comics, art and the graffiti culture.

Inspired and amazed early on by powerful comic styles from 'MAD', Don Rosa's style in the Disney comics and Akira Toriyamas’ 'Dragon Ball', he started developing his very own characteristic style. Later on when he discovered the work of big graffiti icons from Munich such as Won ABC and SatOne, he took up graffiti. This is when he chose his name "Nasca", inspired by his ancestral roots in Peru where there's an archeological site with this name.

Today Nasca's work concentrates mainly on paintings, illustrations, graffiti and mural work in classic traditional ways or digital. The themes of his paintings frequently contain elements from ancient and current times of mankind, deities and fauna from all around the world. His aim is to visualize the universal bond between all living creatures in our world, their rituals, our ancestry and the universal balance.

Nasca‘s paintings can be found worldwide in galleries or on walls, like in Burma, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cuba, Peru, the U.S., Germany, Italy and many more.
