MateoDineen
Mateo Dineen was born in San Mateo, California.
In 2003 Mateo moved to Berlin. As he began his new life
there, his art developed in new directions. He discovered
that the Berlin flea markets offer a wealth of old materials
left over from communist Germany. He saw that these
objects already had the patina of life and presented a
story of their own. These relics included munitions crates,
tobacco tins, and old dusty books. By incorporating these
things into his work, he was able to create something new.
His characters were given new life on a background of
collage and history.
Over the next few years he and his artwork became a
fixture of the Berlin art scene. In 2004 he and a colleague
opened the Zozoville Gallery. These days Mateo can
usually be found in the back room of that gallery creating
more of his signature characters and monsters.
Mateo Dineen nació en San Mateo, California.
En 2003, Mateo se fue a vivir a Berlín, donde comenzó una
nueva vida y su arte evolucionó en nuevas direcciones,
descubrió que los mercados de las pulgas de Berlín ofrecen
una gran cantidad de materiales de la Alemania comunista. Vio
que estos objetos ya tenían la pátina de la vida y mostraban su
propia historia. Estas reliquias incluían casquillos de munición,
latas de tabaco y libros viejos polvorientos. La incorporación de
estos elementos en su obra, le permitía crear algo nuevo.
Insuflaba nueva vida a sus personajes sobre un fondo de
collage e historia.
En los últimos años, su obra se ha convertido en una parte
integrante de la escena artística de Berlín. En 2004 abrió junto
a un compañero la Galería Zozoville. Actualmente, es fácil de
encontrar a Mateo en la sala trasera de esta galería, creando
más personajes y monstruos.

I have been an illustrator for as long as I can remember as
I have always enjoyed drawing. Currently I work for several
magazines in Mexico, some with political leanings, others
for children and the world of design.
It was in university when I realized I wanted to devote
myself to illustrating on a full-time basis. I think my style is
not pigeonholed, because I believe that if I settle on the
combinations that I have developed, I may become
stagnant. This is why I prefer to experiment with several
forms to produce something that is both effective and
visually gratifying. I can say that the sources of inspiration
in my work can be found in history, mythology and the arts
such as Baroque, Sacred, Sumerian, Persian and Pre-
Hispanic Arts. When I make an illustration, I always try to
communicate a strong idea, one that pulls the reader into
the text.
Soy ilustrador desde que tengo uso de razón, siempre me
ha gustado mucho el dibujo. Actualmente trabajo para
varias revistas algunas de corte político, otras infantiles y
de diseño en México.
Desde la universidad me di cuenta que quería dedicarme a
la ilustración a tiempo completo. No tengo un estilo
definido, por que creo que puedo quedarme estancado,
pero por lo regular me gusta experimentar con muchas
formas y sacar algo que sea efectivo y visualmente rico.
Puedo decir que la fuente de inspiración de mi trabajo es la
historia, la mitología y el arte, como el Barroco, Sacro,
Sumerio, Persa y el Prehispánico. Cuando realizo una
ilustración siempre trato de que esta comunique una idea
fuerte y sea ella la que introduzca al lector en el texto.
