Description

Mi Kamasutra fue un divertimento desatento a sus origenes pero comprometido con el presente iconoclasta y olvidadizo. Un trabajo en estado meditativo que me permitió reflexionar de una manera libre sobre la plástica del dibujo, sobre la línea, su geometría y el color. Las referencias creo que son evidentes: Picasso, Paul Colin, Jim Flora pero para aunarlas todas en uno yo diría que este kamasutra es puro Jazz. Creo que no repetí ninguna postura, pero si tenemos en cuenta, además, que en muchas ocasiones prescindí de la lógica de la gravedad y de la morfología humana y sus capacidades, combinando y permutando elementos, se podrían haber realizado miles de libros. Pero con uno, yo creo que es suficiente.

 

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.

His favourite themes expose and explore human passions, particularly love, sex and food.
