Raul Domínguez

The drawings of Raúl Domínguez insist on surrounding a wild image that emerges from the lived experience and materially fixes it. Through different graphic registers, his work celebrates a paradoxical space that questions the separation between figure and background, between what is visible and what happens on the margins. The line plays a decisive role, which is not hidden in the image but constitutes it structurally. Beginning with the hand that draws, it attends to the subtlest movements that constitute us, making visible like a seismograph the capricious relationship between thought and body. Humor and love appear in the most surprising places, enlivening a space of relationship where anything seems possible.

Raúl Domínguez (Barakaldo, 1984) lives and works in Bilbao. He holds a degree in Fine Arts from the EHU-UPV.

His work is present in public and private collections such as Tequila 1800 (Mexico), Artium (Vitoria-Gasteiz) and Colección Mariano Yera (Madrid).
