Born in Madrid in 1977, David Agenjo is a self-taught
artist, living and working in London.
"In my work colour, light and texture play across
the human model, where a physical moment of a body
is a metonym for life's emotions, thoughts and desires.
It is through the application of layers of paint, textural
devices and creative reuse of given palette colours
that an intimacy and
personal communication with
another being is created. Beauty is an emotional
connection with a human - it is a new way of seeing
and relating to that which is most familiar, but so easily
lost in the complex visual cultures of the modern world"
"...colour is my obsession; an organic means of
experimentation and exploration of beauty. My paintings
are interlinked: new canvases are used as palettes,
where textured random patchworks of colours are
formed to be used as a given on which to overlay,
merge and intersplice the chosen figurative composition"
