Lil Dafonte is a Renaissance man reincarnate. Like Da Vinci and Arcimboldo, two 16th century artists who joined technological innovations to art making, Dafonte is committed to marrying new scientific discoveries to his creative endeavors. He sees beauty, ethics and intelligence as equally integral to the human experience and his images seamlessly merge these three elements. Working in a style he terms Fractal Neosurrealism, Dafonte consistently acknowledges his scientific and artistic historical roots while also asserting his work’s contemporary relevance. Digital imagery and multiple portals of information have come to dominate our daily interactions with the world. Dafonte’s portraits delve into how this new phenomenon shapes our unconscious lives.
Layered with complex patterns and abstract imagery, Dafonte’s portraits are mysterious despite their technical sleekness. He uses digital mediums like painters use paint to imitate the fluidity of the natural world. Dafonte studied Economics, Music and Graphic Arts at The Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. He has also extensively explored Organic Surrealism, Scientist Cubism and Fractal Dimension. He lives and works in Spain.
