HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: MAFLOKU
“No. Ocho”
Mafloku is a Mexican artist that works and resides in Tampico, Mexico. He is a Financial Public Accountant who, despite no formal training, and a seemingly unrelated diverse background in prestigious financial, governmental, public and private institutions, accidentally discovered ease of expression in boarding profound insights through color and innocence with an overwhelming positive reception with his artwork. He has participated in exhibitions in his home country as well as abroad, with prizes and acknowledgments, and various features in national and international publications. “The unbelievable ability of our species to be amazed with itself since it believed to have made the night disappear has robbed us of perspective creating a disconnect between the delusion of purpose and the reality of our irrelevance.” The objective of his work is to board this profound realization through innocence.
