Eduardo Urdiales

Eduardo Urdiales (Almería, 1998) has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Granada and a Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Production from the University of Malaga. Since he began his journey into the art world, back in 2019, his work has been exclusively focused on black and white drawing, where, through an immense
experimentation, he has managed to become a true master. His prolific output has allowed the artist's work to be exhibited in competitions throughout the country, such as the XXV Gregorio Prieto Drawing Competition (2019), the LI Luarca International Art Competition (2020) or Arte Aparte XVI (2024), among many others.
In addition, he has held group and solo exhibitions in many of the most important cities in the Spanish art world, with Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga being the most notable.
To write about Eduardo Urdiales's work is to speculate on the heaviness of human existence. The power of his images lies in the attraction of the theatrical character of his compositions and their apocalyptic yet everyday atmospheres. His compositions draw on directed lighting to exalt characters, dense atmospheres to produce emotional and dramatic environments, and theatrical and surrealist resources translated into the language of drawing in pursuit of a narrative that depends not only on literal representation but also on the context and situations in which the subjects of the drawing find themselves. It's not necessary to understand his works; they simply captivate you.
