Jorge Jurado is an artist who always knew that it would be painter and that in pursuit of that goal has oriented both your mood and your reasoning throughout his life.

 

His work has gone through different styles and trends, has experimented with different techniques and materials, and has investigated about different concepts related to the painting in the search for a way of expression that allows you to translate his appreciations about the art and life. 

 

Which is why, for example, that in some periods his work has included realistic representations simultaneously with abstract forms or exercises in chiaroscuro at the time with flat areas of color, sowing some confusion in the public accustomed to the stylistic orthodoxy of modernity. Thanks to these unusual combinations, however, jury has cemented the foundations of their own language that has allowed both a sui generis approach to painting, and a particular understanding of the sometimes not very explicit connections between different chapters in the history of art.
