Art for the Hungry.

JOSE MORATALLA

JOSÉ MORATALLA (Madrid-1971) declares himself a lover of art in general but above all of drawing in all its facets. Since he was a child he liked to draw his favorite characters as “Mortadelo y Filemón”, passing in his maturity to a much darker theme full of “Little Monsters” as he calls them.

He currently works on both Digital Illustration and Acrylic and Oil painting.

Take part in our Exhibition “DE PECCATIS ET MORTE” with two works: “La Virgen Dolorosa” and “La Novia Muerta”. He tells us what his inspiration has been for each of them:

“La Virgen Dolorosa”

“The woman in black still in mourning gathers the dried flowers from the tomb of her beloved”. Inspired by photography with tenebrist references.

-“La Novia Muerta”

“The bride dives into the river that flows into the sea, the sea that took him, still with the flowers prepared for the bond”. Inspired by photography with pre-Raphaelite references.
