Pink Morro Brings Graffiti, Graphic Design and Set Design Into Gestural Abstraction
Based in Barcelona, Pink Morro (Raúl) produces abstract artworks that merge graffiti, graphic design, and set design, viewing the canvas as a dynamic environment. His artistic toolkit consists of acrylics, oil pastels, spray paints, graphite, and raw linen. After earning a degree in Graphic Design and establishing a creative studio, he dedicated himself to studio painting full-time around seven years ago. His Maniobra series showcases works M011 and M012, each measuring 200 by 200 cm, alongside Andrómeda, which is 300 by 200 cm. This series fuses street art with concepts of energy and cosmic equilibrium. Drawing inspiration from Abstract Expressionism and artists such as Cy Twombly and Jean Michel Basquiat, he aims to create organic sculptures and installations for international exhibitions, particularly in Japan.
