Blurb:
For over 20 years, Gonzalo Orquín has explored the human condition through a masterful blend of intimacy, realism, and poetic sensitivity. From his months in Berlin delving into the underground art scene to exhibiting at the National Portrait Gallery in London, his journey bridges cultures and eras. His works, showcased in venues such as the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York, the Migratie Museum Migration in Brussels, and galleries and museums in Washington D.C., Paris, St. Petersburg, Rome etc, reflect a profound engagement with identity, memory, and the human spirit.
Renowned for his portraits, deeply rooted in the tradition of Spanish realism, Orquín brings light to themes of eroticism, the poetry of still life, and the quiet intensity of everyday intimacy. His art also serves as a platform for social commentary, addressing LGBTQI+ rights, the struggles of migration and the enduring drama of wars.
This collection is a vivid testament to his relentless exploration of beauty, vulnerability, and the stories that connect us all.
