One of the favorite topics of Mordillo is the sport (as seen in the entry devoted to football last year). He also expressed his affection for animals with plenty of illustrations to show up - especially - giraffes and dogs. But the dominant theme in his work tends to be love. In its various forms (spouses, lovers, dating frustrated, impossible love, love for money and many others) Guillermo Mordillo talks about this world sometimes from a more romantic and idealized, sometimes from a passion or playfulness. And always with a great power of observation, with pictures that capture by his masterful use of color and those little men and women that even in the most adults retain their sweetheart child, his "not knowing exactly where they are and what is happening ', their fragility, their awareness of the need for each other, their quest against the odds of love and pleasure.
