Paolo Dalponte

By LatAm ARTE

He is an illustrator, comedian and painter. To create the cartoon he uses the black and white technique. The pencil is his most appropriate tool to describe topics in great detail and make the translation of his idea of graphic humor more real. His images come from surrealist culture and from this way of conceiving the artistic message they have absorbed his provocative force and fascination. The author entrusts the objects, approached in an unusual way, their inner metamorphosis and their infinite game of exchange, with the task of setting the mechanism of thought in motion. His logic often escapes the common sense of things. The absence of color leads to a colder view of the subject; to a more analytical than emotional point of view. There is a need to communicate, but in a different way, and in that exchange, in this message, a click is created that brings out doubt and a smile.
