Farley del Rosario, born in 1980, is a renowned contemporary artist in the fairy-tale pop genre.

Del Rosario excels in both painting and sculpture, and his distinctive style is characterized by an extravagant elegance and a subtle veil of restlessness. His creations are instantly recognizable: populating his worlds are humanoid figures with half-closed eyes, hands that look like twisted wires, and bizarre, almost geometric noses that extend to the hairline. Gifted with a rare sense of humor and wonder, Farley del Rosario brings to life scenes with grand narratives, inspired by his own personal experiences, dreams and the boundless fantasy universe of children.
