Description

Esta imagen la hemos construido entre mi hija y yo. Ella elegía personajes de tebeo y animación -bueno, servidor eligió alguno también- y yo los dibujaba añadiéndoles ciertas mutaciones inquietantes. ¿El lugar donde emplazarlos? Esta plaza donde hemos compartido tantas horas de columpio y tobogán. El resultado me sugiere esa uniformidad que la globalización lleva al centro de las ciudades donde la personalidad y el carácter local se convierten en clichés universales un poco deformantes.

Roberto Maján (Soria, Spain, 1968)

Roberto Maján is a self-taught artist. He moved to Madrid when he was eighteen and soon began working as an illustrator for various specialised periodicals and publishers, including Expansión, Actualidad Económica, Vogue, El Sol, El País, Health and Beauty, Anaya, Santillana and Edelvives.

In 2006 he founded Artichoque, a publishing house that released several books illustrated by his own pen, such as Kamasutra (Daniel Gil Editorial Design Award finalist in 2006) and Petronia y la reina bigotuda (shortlisted for the 2007 Visual Prize for Best Children’s Book). That year he received the Fundación Progreso y Cultura Prize for his illustrated book El Diablo y yo, which also won an honourable mention at the Lazarillo Awards.

In his personal artistic production, he parades his consummate skill with brushes and watercolours, depicting mostly human figures with a subtle and adept use of colour and creating textures and glazes to produce an oeuvre of stunning beauty and delicacy. His favourite themes expose and explore human passions, particularly love, sex and food.
