PARALLEL 1, Rafael Triana - T.O.E. Art Market

PARALLEL is a series of digital illustrations that respond to current human relations issues. This series addresses the difference, opposites and social inequalities, and seeks a link to connect to contemporary times. I use different techniques such as collage, traditional drawing, charcoal and digital art. Digital art allowed me to combine all my techniques into one, developing brushes, textures, atmospheres, now from a computer. My illustrations have always been an ironic and poetic reflection of real life. I appropriate conventions and common situations to create a new reality. I imagine a life on pause, like a photograph before the click, like a theater scene where we are all extras waiting to play the main role. I see my art as a defense mechanism against reality, to combat the circumstances of life.
