Ugly Artist

The comic, the grotesque play an important role in my artistic practice. In this painting I was thinking about how the ugliest geniuses and some outsiders were my heroes. The Elephant Man, Van Gogh and many others.. I was not looking for a deep sentence about them, or even about myself, but a comic ad, capable of exorcising the pain.. 

At the same time I needed a creepy image, a monster inspired in the pop imaginary with pure colors, I always need to play with sensation and the grotesque alongside color to create remarkable visual impressions.

The grotesque is not boring. Beauty can be.
