About

Oton is a self-taught artist, who has nurtured a passion for painting and drawing since childhood, particularly inspired by scenes from Madrid.

His work is full of mischievous and provocative elements. Beneath an aesthetic that appears childlike and innocent lies an acerbic reflection on our society. 

Artwork from his early stage of career featured a series of action paintings enriched with collage elements, exploring themes of neo-dadaism, abstract expressionism, and pop art.

Later on in his career, he took a pivotal move and began creating irreverent, scatological parodies of popular culture icons, questioning our relationship with media imagery. His playful, uninhibited drawings blend ingenuity with irreverence, reflecting a critical yet humorous perspective.
