A late 90s graffiti writer in Madrid, Dourone flew solo on the streets, teaching himself the craft, experimenting with painting styles and disciplines. Later in the 2010s, he joined together with Elodie, forming a painting duo.

Fragmented Record is a project that allows you to see behind the scenes and initiates the viewer into the process and approach. “All these years we have shown you the result of our work but very rarely the realization.”
