Strange Fruit I
As long as there is a single life under the yoke of
any form of oppression or slavery, there will be
reasons to delve into de concept of freedom and
beauty, and the meaning of the word "erradication".
Based on African Women, but also on a piece of music
with the same name: Strange Fruit. Performed by Billie
Holiday and written by A.Meeporol immediately became
a hymn against any sign of racism and lynching.

About Me
Graphic narrator of journeys across the enchanted world of legends and mythology, Raúl GUERRA is an artist in possession of an insatiable curiosity, which gives rise to his prolific body of painfully alluring work. Known simply as Raúl GUERRA in the art world, Raúl Jiménez Guerra is a Spanish painter and illustrator from Andalusia (Ronda, Malaga). He graduated from the University of Granada with a degree in fine arts, majoring in painting and graphic arts. He subsequently undertook a kind of personal pilgrimage that would see him watching, learning, listening, absorbing & living in Belfast, Paris & London, on a perpetual quest for "beauty extreme". The siphoning of all his accumulated sensory influences (with Celtic folklore and English carrot cake not being the least of them) would become the subtle recurring forms that now define his illustrations and paintings. His appreciation for feminine beauty extends wide & eclectic, and can be seen in highly urban contexts, such as the aforementioned album cover for Rachel Claudio's "Claudiography" or his "An African Woman" series, one of which was recently featured on a 12-meter-high wall in Shanghai on the South African pavillion of the 2010 International Expo.
