Cruz Ugarte

SPAIN, 1966

« I was born in Bilbao where I studied Fine Arts, with a specialization in painting. I live in a small town, where I returned to the drawing and creation after several years working as a graphic designer.

I draw as an observer of my environment, of the society in which I live, of the relationships with others, with my body. I draw to conduct anger, rage, sadness, unlove. As an astonished witness of the beauty that surrounds us and as a narrator of the search for my own connection.

I draw as a part of the mechanisms, sometimes absurd and surrealistic, that are imposed on us to live together, as a testimony of what surrounds me and how I interpret it » .
