Apitatán (Quito, 1987) is an artist who paints everyday stories.

His sketches are inspired by fragments of conversations overheard throughout the city. They are a reflection of Latin American culture and featuring people with sharp, geometric outlines, often giving dark looks or wide smiles with missing teeth.

 

These antiheroes inhabit their own universe and break the rules of stereotypical aesthetics exemplifying the beauty found in imperfection with an intergenerational sense of humour.
