Art like Ricardo Cavolo: original folk-pop & naïf works to collect
Ricardo Cavolo (Salamanca, 1982) is one of Spain's most recognisable contemporary artists — a self-taught storyteller blending folk art, tattoo culture and religious iconography into vivid, naïf imagery (his signature: many-eyed figures, flaming hearts, shooting stars). He painted a monumental wall at Montréal's MURAL Festival in 2017 and designed Kaytranada's album 99.9%. His warm, narrative, colour-soaked universe is exactly the kind of original art you can collect at L'Original.
What defines the Cavolo style
Folk-art flatness, tattoo-flash symbols, sacred-heart iconography and characters with multiple watchful eyes, all in saturated, joyful colour: Cavolo turns every piece into a small mythology. It's narrative, warm and instantly recognisable — folk-pop with real emotional depth.
