Pep Carrió’s daily diary drawings are a testament to the power of consistent, creative practice. Beginning in 2007, Carrió embarked on an artistic journey, challenging himself to create a drawing every day. This discipline has resulted in a rich tapestry of visual narratives, captured within the pages of his Moleskine datebooks. His work, which utilizes a variety of mediums such as markers, pencil, tempera, pen, ink, and collage, transcends the ordinary diary format, transforming it into a profound visual exploration of time and memory.
The illustrations range from fantastical scenes to metaphysical landscapes, each page a window into Carrió’s imagination. The project has evolved over time, with recent entries often occupying a full two-page spread, allowing for more expansive and intricate compositions. These diaries not only serve as a personal archive of the artist’s daily musings but also invite viewers to ponder the enigmatic world Carrió unfurls with each turn of the page.
