Zangano

b.1995

Zangano's artistic pursuits seamlessly blend illustration and painting, rooted in the vibrant realm of subculture. The artist’s creative journey began with 2D illustrations and cartoons. His early creations focused on capturing the fundamental essence of characters, employing a line-centric approach that proved pivotal in crafting intricate and substantial artwork.

 

Delving into the realms of light and shadow, the artist encountered the challenge of adequately portraying luminosity within a two-dimensional framework. Determined to transcend this limitation, he embarked on a journey to revolutionize comic subculture imagery. Through experimentations, he devised a unique technique: incorporating grid-based spatial elements into characters' backgrounds. This innovative approach not only infused his paintings with a heightened sense of realism but also imbued them with a newfound dimensional depth and spatiality.

 

Zangano's works offer viewers an immersive journey into the worlds he creates, where intentions and imagination converge through a harmonious blend of visual elements. Each viewing becomes a meaningful exploration of the virtual realms within his artwork.
