Andr\u00e9s M\u00e9rida, born in Algeciras (C\u00e1diz) in 1964 and settled in M\u00e1laga since 1970, began his artistic career in a professional way in the 90s. His academic training was developed at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Seville and his career has been consolidated through his exhibitions inside and outside Spain showing his works in many cities (New York, Mexico City, Hong Kong, Dortmund, Guadalajara, etc …). <\/p>\n

His work has been evolving since the beginning with influences from artistic movements of the twentieth century, mainly from the expressionist and surrealist currents, creating a universe and style of his own<\/strong> by which he is easily identified.<\/p>\n

In the first decade of this century he travels to the U.S. and Mexico for long periods of time where he works and holds several exhibitions and begins to experiment with live painting performances and interacting with other artists.<\/p>\n

On the technical level he is experimenting with digital art combining it with traditional techniques and in the aesthetic sense he is introducing a new expressive resource in his works through what he calls “GARABATISM<\/strong>“, the result of several years of research and influences of artists such as Giacometti or J. Pollock.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
