Description

Dolores Castro Ruiz, más conocida como Dora “la cordobesita”, fue una cupletista de la primera mitad del siglo XX, que sirvió de modelo para el pintor Julio Romero de Torres en diferentes ocasiones, convirtiéndose en un referente estético de la belleza andaluza. Sin duda la pintura y estilo de Julio Romero fue un referente fundamental para el diseñador Vaughan Oliver (uno de mis artistas gráficos preferidos y fundamental en la estética de los 90) para la creación del arte del disco Surfer Rosa de los @pixiesofficial y. Aunque “isla de Encanta” pertenece al álbum “Come on pilgrim” utilicé la referencia del Surfer Rosa para crear esta obra, sustituyendo el cobre por un amarillo “maravilla”

ÁLVARO P-FF (Madrid, Spain, 1973)

After studying communications, he began his career working for Disney and at several different design and advertising agencies until he and his brother, photographer Juan Pérez-Fajardo, decided to open their own design studio, The Fly Factory.

His illustrations and designs, always related to music, have led to collaborations with international artists like Elton John, Guns n’ Roses, Elvis Costello, The Who, Ozzy Osborne, Green Day, Korn, Dropkick Murphys, Motorhead, Take That, Black Sabbath, The Lumineers,… and national ones like Bunbury, Arde Bogotá, Sabina, Calamaro, Luz Casal, Coque Malla o M-Clan among many others.

With a unique blend of 1980s street culture, 1990s American poster art and nods to the language of modernism and Art Deco, Álvaro Pérez-Fajardo has forged a powerful and unmistakeably distinctive style with a ubiquitous presence at virtually every major music event in Spain today.

In 2014 he began to produce his own artwork, with great commercial success, continuing to draw on his trademark methods and influences but revelling in the total freedom of doing and creating whatever he wants.
