Felipe Urrutia - XXL - other space

Felipe Urrutia (1995) is a Spanish artist aged 30. His artistic practice began at an early age, initially exploring cubist figuration and moving through various styles until establishing a language of his own that combines synthesis, intuition and emotion. Flowing today in a body of works that oscillate between pared-down figuration and symbolic abstraction.

With a fresh and carefree brushstroke, Urrutia constructs characters and abstract landscapes that seem to emerge from an intermediate territory between the real and the emotional. In them, forms dissolve to reveal the overlay of feelings that inhabit everyday life. He believes in portraiture as a tool capable of condensing multiple truths at the same time, of capturing the visible and the invisible in a single gesture.

Often he combines the pictorial image with written word, generating a dialogue that reinforces his expressive intention. This coexistence of text and painting does not seek to illustrate, but to enlarge meaning, provoke resonances and question the relationship between what is said and what is felt.

He has exhibited in several countries, including the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy, establishing an international trajectory that is growing. His work is part of numerous private and public collections, and he continues developing a practice that is distinguished by its authenticity, its sensitive outlook and its commitment to exploring the human condition.
