OKUDA
Okuda has a degree in Fine Arts from the university Complutense de Madrid. Originally from Santander, colour took part of his artistic universe. Coloured geometric figures are combined with each other and bring life to the walls. A multidisciplinary artist, his works goes from video installations to non-figurative graffiti, where the human body and its forms are a constant. As major influences, he refers “Dalí, Max Ernst, Magritte and far ahead of his time, Bosch”. Great traveller, he brought in his memory the colours and forms from India and Mali, now clear characteristics of his work. When geometry and colours are allied, Okuda’s works are born.
