aRaL
Catalan illustrator and muralist, she is characterized by the ability to integrate into all types of environments, supports and records, capturing the essence of each project.
His murals transmit his vital concerns showing the simple things in life, the extraordinary and valuable, such as roots, values, human rights, nature... His illustrations are a clear example of his dreamy and illogical personality that stands out in his style. Their characters are inspired by real beings. On the other hand, his dreamlike backgrounds are the fruit of his imagination or give off touches of expressionism, due to the use of bright colors and abstract shapes that allow him to freely develop his emotions.
aRaL is passionate about creating and being in contact with matter; daring with everything, the constant flirtation with different styles, techniques and supports, depending on each moment. He loves to maintain this open relationship with art in general.
Although, following its environmentally friendly line and having a lower environmental impact, its works are made with water-based acrylic paint.
