When he was a young kid, Pedro Pablo rarely ventured outside his family home: his repeated epileptic fits terrorized his parents, who preferred to be near him at all times. Not being able to play with other children, he developed a great capacity for observation and all alone, he created his own universe.
His work reflects the world of his childhood and the actual degraded environment of his neighborhood, where death, drugs, prostitution, and vacant lots are rife. Pedro Pablo builds his collages from papers with his writings, different forms, and pages from various publications. Then he intervenes with paint and pen to recover or produce new images. His figures are simple, rough, with heavy paint brushstrokes, an almost childish style with highly aggressive and disturbing content.
