Rosalía enters the Cerralbo Museum with the help of the designer of ‘Mal querer’, Filip Custic

The Cerralbo Museum and PHotoESPAÑA have presented the retrospective exhibition ‘Why do we do what we do?’ by the multidisciplinary artist Filip Custic, who designed the visual identity for composer Rosalía’s second album, ‘El mal querer’ in 2018.

According to the organisers, the creator offers the spectator a “fast-paced” journey through his past up to the present, with “neo-baroque, detailed and data-packed” compositions that also include images of the Catalan singer.

Among others, there are the works ‘family tree’ (2022), ‘chapter 6 closure – prisoner (portrait of Rosalía)’ (2018) or ‘filip means horse lover’ (2020).

The exhibition will be open from July 6 to September 29. Filip Custic (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist who combines photography, sculpture, performance and video art in his practice.

Through his works – which combine art, technology and humanity – he addresses issues such as the impact of digital technologies on society or the meaning of our identity.

He has exhibited his works in spaces such as the César Manrique Foundation (Lanzarote), Caixaforum (Barcelona), La Térmica (Málaga), the Manchester International Festival, the James Fuentes Gallery (New York), the Museum der bildenden Künste (Leipzig) or PARCO Museum (Tokyo), among others.

Custic has also worked as a photographer and creative director for publications such as ‘Vogue’, ‘Esquire’ and ‘GQ’.
