Parafeno is a Madrid based visual artist interested in telling the most seemingly tender of stories that hide a deeper meaning of loss, nostalgia and unknown yearning through an innocent childlike lens.
Guided since early in his life towards the narrativity of video games and marvelled at the limitless posibilities of digital media, his style tries to induce in the viewer the eerie and innocent, trembling and sweet view of a small child sailing through a grown up world.
