+ OVERVIEW
Born in 1981, Madrid, Rafa Macarron is a self-taught contemporary artist from Spain. His eccentric and colorful style has captivated many European and American art collectors. Drawing from his childhood memories as inspiration, Macarron created nostalgic scenery from ordinary life. With an unrestrained and childlike creativity, he created many whimsical illustrations of outer space. In his paintings, Macarron depicted his characters with proportions of extra-terrestrial humanoids. With huge eyes and long eyelashes, they hold exaggerated poses with their soft rubbery limbs, conveying many humorous stories within the paintings. In his works, people are similar yet very different - similar to real life, everyone harbors a distinctive mind, appearance, and background.
The artist used paper collage, acrylic paint, and other materials to create a square-shaped blue space."Océano" was created in 2018, the entire work has charming colours and harmonious composition. The rich and vibrant bright yellow covers the whole picture. The artist boldly deforms the characters under his brushes, both mankind and animals look exaggerated and weird yet interesting, distorted faces, bulbous eyes, slender limbs, but like cartoon people, with a pair of big hands with countless fingers. The unrestrained imagination of the artist creates a naive and dreamy universe, which turns the moments of everyday life into fantasy, refreshing and full of wonder. "I am an optimist, I hope to use my works to tell everyone that in any ordinary moments, there are also joys that are worth cherishing."
