Pau Aguiló

(Spain, 2002)

Pau Aguiló was born in Mallorca in August 2002 into a family with a very personal relationship with art. He grew up in the outskirts of Algaida, a village in the interior of the island. There, with no more contact with the world than a few illustrated books and historical films Aguiló developed a passion for drawing as a game.

To this day the use of imagination, nature and historical elements remain pillars of his work to which many others have been added throughout his life. The construction of worlds and the fascination with human societies make Aguiló's work superficially perceived as a surrealism at times deconstructivist and original. But it hides a critical or poetic observation of the human condition from its individuality and circumstances. The history of various periods, mostly western, films of all kinds, illustrations from masters such as Goya to comic books, contemporary and classical painting as well as many other elements converge in the inspiration of his work, reflecting the eclectic world of today through his brush.
