- Andres Barajas
Andres Barajas (1941 in
Jaen, Spain ) is a Spanishgraphic artist . His artistic activity, concentrated in graphics, linked to the greatest creators thatart history has shown clearly as masters. Figures and scenery attain great, rotund volumes while lights and shadows are completely subject to his will to achieve profound contrasts.During the 1980s, Barajas chose a dark range of colors, almost a monochrome. His subject matter included themes related to
witchcraft , the farce of officialreligion , and ignorance. The 1990s brought forth a much more colorful Barajas. The artist immersed himself in the fascinating world ofbullfighting and a very personal mythological vision in which Europa is the one who carriesZeus off.The numerous prizes, monographs, and critical studies that have followed Barajas’s exhibitions academically back up the quality of this artist.
