Okuda: Biography
Okuda was born in 1980, November 19 in Spain and he is based in Madrid since 2000. He is a Bachelor of Dine Arts from the Madrid University. Since 1997 Okuda has been creating different paintings on the streets: railroads and factories in his hometown could be easily recognized. But he created not only at the streets. Also, he was working in his studio, producing more intimate works.
Okuda created his works in Pop Surrealism. Gray bodies and organic forms were combined with different multicolored lines and geometric patterns. His works are about existentialism, the Universe, the infinite, the meaning of life, the false freedom of capitalism, and they show a conflict between modernity and our roots, our past.
Okuda creates those geometric architectures that become organic shapes, bodies without identity, headless animals, symbols that encourage reflexion … He has his own unique iconographic language.
His works can be seen in streets and galleries around the world: India, Mali, Mozambique, United States, Japan, Chile, Brazil, Peru, South Africa, Mexico and the European continent among others.
Now we can see his works in Kiev, Ukraine:
