Inspired by the mysteries buried in the deepest depths of the ocean crossed with the supernatural resilience animals show in adapting to their changing environment, “Depths of LA” brings a unique view to what Los Angeles may look like in a fantasy post-apocalyptic setting. Saturno’s collection is sure to scare, inspire, and mesmerize you all at once.
Born in 1979 in the small coastal town of 'Malgrat de Mar (Barcelona), his childhood was surrounded by VHS tapes, recreation centers, and cinema halls. As a child, near his home, he would contemplate the illuminated signs announcing the weekly films, which because of his young age, he was unable to watch. This circumstance combined with the mysticism of the seventh art, and provoked by his imagination, Saturno began his journey of no return towards the lobby of the local cinema. Once inside, surrounded by all the film art, he was able to hear the whispers of those "prohibited" films, inducing day after day hundreds of film posters passing in front of his eyes. It's just about there when he discovers his fascination for fantasy, horror, and sci-fi genres.
Inspired by all of this, Saturno started to draw at a very young age. His contact with graffiti is limited and totally self-taught; Saturno then began painting in 1994. His unique and recognizable style continues to strengthen over the years. Saturno’s technique and manipulation of color stands out, making him a global benchmark.
