Gabriel Maduena
b. 1991 ∙ CE artist since 2013
Gabriel Maduena is an artist of few words (at least in most social settings), preferring to communicate using written notes. He is quite articulate and responsive on paper, making very specific requests for choice of media, reference material, as well as type and size of paper.
While open to most subject matters for inspiration, Maduena tends toward pop culture products such as sports magazines, video games, various icons from the world of mainstream animation, and everyday objects like footballs, glasses of water, or pizza. He also has explored his cartography skills with a colorful series of maps exploring boundaries and borders. Maduena is a very focused artist, arriving early and quickly settling in for a productive day of image-making using a variety of media.
