AMPPARITO

Born in Madrid in 1991, the artist studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid before developing a practice rooted in counter-advertising, urban intervention and mural painting, which they pursued until 2019. Their work explores deception, infiltration and the fragile boundary between truth and illusion. Camouflage and trompe-l’oeil appear not as technical displays but as conceptual tools — ways to inhabit fantasy when reality proves immovable, and to expose how the false can become true and the true can dissolve into fiction.

Everyday objects are altered and displaced, serving not as finished forms but as triggers for behaviour and social reaction. The artist embraces the poetic absurdity of effort: hand-writing calendars until the year 2100 to mark the date of their own death, or installing hundreds of broken clocks so that one always displays the correct time. Humor and irony act as essential strategies, approaches to subjects too heavy to confront without a protective laugh.

Preferring non-art contexts, the artist situates works in daily life, provoking genuine encounter without the assumptions of contemporary art settings. His practice challenges certainty, disrupts habit, and invites viewers into a space where logic fractures and imagination briefly takes control.
