Jorge Juan López-Barrajón Sevilla
I was born in Madrid in 1973.
At the age of eleven, I began my training at the studio of painter Antonio Arnau Magro in Quintanar de la Orden, whose influence sparked in me a profound interest in landscape—a foundational element of my early work.
In 1995, I held my first solo exhibition at the “La Ermitilla” Exhibition Hall in Quintanar de la Orden.
Shortly afterward, I moved to Germany, where I worked in the field of animation, collaborating with the production company Hahn Film—an experience that broadened my artistic perspective.
Over time, my artistic research shifted toward the human body and portraiture, disciplines I currently pursue in Barcelona through watercolor and life-drawing studies, exploring the expressiveness of line, light, and emotion in the human figure.
My current work combines the sensitivity to landscape that shaped my beginnings with a continuous exploration of the representation of the human figure, consolidating a personal trajectory that is ever evolving.
“Light gives rise to unexpected colors on the body; in them, I find new ways of expressing it.”
In addition, his work is framed within a queer perspective that took a long time to emerge, understood as a space of creative and personal freedom.
This perspective, silenced for years, runs through his portraits and figure studies, affirming diversity with a liberated energy and exploring forms of representation that move away from the normative. In this sense, his artistic practice becomes a territory where identity, desire, and visual expression converge.
The inspiration for this stage comes from everyday life, from apps and social media, as well as from a hypersexualized marketing culture that he exposes and reinterprets with a bold gaze.
