Fernando Barrios Benavides
Artist
His compulsive drawing and his interest in the imaginary, in what arises by chance, in emotions that are difficult to trace or in experimenting with different materials and techniques, led him to feel the need to develop his own language with forms and symbols that appear recurrently in his work. Each drawing is usually based on a previous one and, sometimes, on a mixture of several, and it is the mistakes —never understood as such— that bring something new to his work. It is Fernando’s mission to search for errors, this is what his creative process consists of.

Through photography, drawing, collage, sculpture, painting… the artists show us their perception and interpretation of the peripheries. Fernando Barrios Benavides is known by an abstraction with a narrative, through sculptures and sometimes collage painting that combines different materials, techniques and materials. Raúl Bravo makes drawings and quick sketches in his urban drifts, collages in the manner of an artist’s book. Yuri Pol, through photography, brings us social instants, human landscapes, empty territories, but also poetic images of greater abstraction.
