Jorge Cobo
(b.1997)
Born in a small village in mainland Spain, and graduated in Animation Studies in Madrid (2020), he now works from his studio in Mallorca. Jorge Cobo offers us a glimpse into the most intimate corners of his soul through the lens of his artwork.
In his early years, his artstyle focused primarily in comic and cartoon illustrations, and it has currently evolved into more symbolic pieces heavily influenced by fairytales, fables, and myths. Inspiration brought together with nostalgia, personal memories, and internal fears as recurring themes throughout his collection, awake a range of sensations that blur the line between dreams and reality. A longing for something that may or may have never existed to begin with.
“I hold a very strong bond with my work, I pour a fragment of myself into every one of my paintings. You could say that each of them is a part of me.”
Dark, nostalgic, curated, and deeply personal.
