Mario De Ayguavives - Another landscape No. 22

Técnica: Digital photography

Biografía del Artista: Mario de Ayguavives (Zaragoza, 1968) graduated in Fine Arts, specialising in Sculpture, from the University of Barcelona. He received the Scholarship-Acquisition at the Calotaro Sculpture Workshop, the First Prize for Sculpture at the 9th and 10th Aragonese Youth Competition for Plastic Arts, the Honourable Mention for Sculpture at the 20th Bancaixa Prize in Valencia, and the Honourable Mention for Sculpture at the 7th Isabel de Portugal Prize in Zaragoza. His work has been present at the ARCO art fairs in Madrid with galleries such as the Spectrum gallery and the Van der Voort gallery. Also noteworthy is his solo exhibition at the Banco Hispano 20 in Zaragoza, and his inclusion in collections such as those of the General Council of Aragon, the Provincial Council of Zaragoza and the Contemporary Art museums of Madrid and Ibiza. Mario de Ayguavives is a photographer who shows us an unnatural nature, remade and manufactured to suit the consumer, an image theoretically more pleasing to the human eye, where man's taste for symmetry and repetition is expressed to create a disturbing landscape. His images show us a globalized nature, made to suit man, serialized and manufactured to infinity.

Mario de Ayguavives (Zaragoza, 1968), obtained a degree in Fine Arts from Barcelona University having specialized in Sculpture. He received the Acquisition Grant for the Calotaro Sculpture Workshop, the First Prize for Sculpture in the IX & X Young Aragon Visual Arts Contest and an Honorary Mention for Sculpture in the VII Isabel de Portugal Contest in Zaragoza. His work has been present several times at the artfair ARCO in Madrid presented by the galleries Spectrum and Van der Voort. We must also highlight his solo exhibition at the Hispano 20 Bank in Zaragoza and the inclusion of his work in the collections of the Aragon General Government, the Zaragoza Provincial Government and the museums of contemporary art of both Madrid and Ibiza. Mario de Ayguavives is a photographer who shows us an unnatural view of nature, remade and styled to the viewer's liking. The image is, in theory, more pleasing to the human eye, which is attracted to symmetry and this reproduction by man is distorted to such an extent that it creates a disturbing landscape. His images show us a globalized vision of nature, created to man's taste, serialized and manufactured infinitely.
