Saracho
Born: 1973
Hometown: Gijón
Based in: Gijón
Ángel Hurtado de Saracho (Gijón, Spain, 1973) has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Leioa in the Basque Country. Already in the Faculty of Fine Arts, his work stood out for a very personal figuration, in which he represents anonymous locations and characters, moments that apparently may not be important, but that are part of his life experience. In his last year at the Faculty he obtained a scholarship from Paradores de Turismo, and at the end of it, a jury chaired by the prestigious painter Antonio Lopez selected his work to be part of the permanent collection of Paradores de España.
Saracho has had numerous collective and individual exhibitions in Public Institutions, Foundations and Art Galleries, as well as having participated in fairs such as "Room Art Fair" in Madrid, "Cuarto Público" in Santiago de Compostela, "Art3F" in Bordeaux, France or Flecha Artea in Bilbao.
In addition, he has obtained several residential grants, the last one at the International Symposium of Artists of Noja, Sianoja 2017, where he was one of the resident participants.
His work can be found in private collections, municipal art galleries and in the public collection of Paradores de España.
"Painting loaded with loose brushstrokes and chromatic stains, in which figures and colors unfold to show the spaces through which his gaze travels, ready to capture lived moments. A renewed and very personal figuration that, like open windows, has the ability to attract the viewer's gaze."
