Joaquin Carreno Alonso

Joaquin Carreno Alonso - Mexico City, MX

Joaquin is a Gouache painter who finds the ritualistic aspects of painting very relaxing and feels immense gratitude when people like and support his art. This humble and grateful attitude is reflected in his paintings where Joaquin would love to convey the message that human beings are not superior to any other living form as we are often told. It's just that our habits and rituals are more chaotic and complicated for no reason.

This is why you will often find animals taking part in every day human activities in Joaquin's work, including his first two designs for ZZZ's. Joaquin's designs for ZZZ's are Slow Paradise and Joint Hands, which are featured on our King Size booklets.
