Illustrations that are own heroes or antiheroes or taken from the collective and universal imaginary with which the artist wants to reflect the passage of time, the loss of childhood; talking about broken toys from the decomposition of different personality traits of the characters themselves ...

BIO: DHANI BARRRAGAN is an artist born in Marinea de Aljarafe, Seville, Spain, in the year 1989.

Since very young he has been interested in drawing, so much so, that he spent hours making invented drawings and copying comic book illustrations like Spider-man.

Going into adolescence he began to interest graffiti, and from there, he researched much more with color and shapes, besides assessing the work of the great graffiti artists of the time (early 2000).

Although graffiti influenced and interested him a lot, he did not practice it in depth, giving priority to drawing on paper, creating sketches even during class hours in high school.
This interest in drawing and painting led him to begin the study of Fine Arts at the University of Seville from 2008 to 2013.

After the years of university it was when he really began to exploit the ideas he had during the years of study. It was when little by little he was getting his own style based on what really interested him on the art scene.

In the lowbrow art was where he found a style with which he really was identified. Catching pop culture characters to translate his own messages, through comic scenes as well as polemics.

The idea of creating apparently friendly and visually cheerful scenes with a critical and dramatic background is the main motivation that he has at the time of working, since he always tries to capture a critical and social message.
He was always very attracted to the cartoons in which its characters had transformations and physical changes, such as Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Transformers... These changes, transformations or mergers attracted him from the start, and are options that he loves to adapt in his works, giving new forms to others already recognizable within pop culture.

Technically lowbrow and pop surrealism are his referring styles, since he understands that they allow him total freedom of creation, inventing scenes that could never be seen in another area.

The characters of pop culture are considered by him as the new symbolism; formerly artists used certain elements to represent something subtly that could only be appreciated by people who knew the meaning of that symbology. And what he thinks is that with these characters that are known worldwide, you can give messages to a much larger audience without any kind of intellectual elitism.

Mainly the characters that he likes to use in his works are those that most interested him as a child, like Bugs Bunny, although he likes to expand the range using any type of character that he likes and attracts visually.
