Description:

Broken (2019) is an original mixed media work on paper by Okokume — the Spanish artist whose tender, pastel-saturated universe of soft creatures, melancholic figures, and dreamlike colour has earned her a devoted international following across the art world and online communities alike. A mint-green reclining figure holds close a large pink stuffed rabbit, both suspended against a lavender and violet nocturnal sky scattered with small starbursts — a scene of comfort and vulnerability rendered with the warm, chalky luminosity that defines Okokume's distinctive technique.

The work belongs to the emotional core of Okokume's practice: the exploration of softness as both aesthetic and psychological condition, of the stuffed animal as surrogate companion, of rest and closeness as radical acts in a fragmented world. The title Broken — set against an image of such apparent tenderness — introduces the ambiguity that characterises her best work: is the breaking already done, and this the aftermath? Or is the figure holding on precisely because something is about to give?

The mixed media technique — combining drawing, pastel, and painterly application on paper — gives the surface a velvety, tactile quality that rewards close viewing, the colours shifting between cool periwinkle and warm coral in ways that no screen can fully replicate. Executed in Spain in 2019 and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by JPS Gallery and signed by the artist, this is a fully documented unique original from one of the most compelling emerging voices in contemporary figurative art.
