Felipe Urrutia - Aura

Felipe Urrutia (born 1995) is a Spanish artist in his thirties. His artistic practice began at an early age, initially exploring Cubist figuration and moving through diverse styles until he consolidated a personal language that fuses synthesis, intuition, and emotion. Today, it flows into a body of works that swing between stripped-down figuration and symbolic abstraction.
With a fresh, carefree brushstroke, Urrutia builds 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, capturing both what is visible and what is invisible in a single gesture.
He often combines the pictorial image with written text, generating a dialogue that reinforces his expressive intent. This coexistence of text and painting does not seek to illustrate, but to expand meaning, provoke resonances, and question the relationship between what is said and what is felt.
He has exhibited in various countries, including the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy, cementing an expanding international career.
His work is part of numerous private and public collections, and he continues developing a body of work that is distinguished by its authenticity, its sensitive gaze, and its commitment to exploring the human condition.
