Freak y matadero son dos conceptos que lamentablemente solían ir de la mano y sólo desde hace muy poco las disidencias de la normatividad están empezando a ser respetadas. Pero igual que hay campos de concentración conservados para mantener viva la memoria de lo que el hombre es capaz, yo propongo esta imagen, en apariencia divertida aunque de trasfondo siniestro, también como recordatorio de unos tiempos que amenazan con volver.
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. Buy now the best Roberto Maján artworks in our Online Shop
