ENRIQUE VEGANZONES

 

Enrique Veganzones (born 1965, Madrid) lives and works in a small town on the south eastern coast of Spain. He completed his Fine Arts studies at the Complutense University of Madrid in 1997. He has been the recipient of artistic residencies at the Josefand Anni Albers Foundation in Connecticut and the National Trust of Georgia in Tbilisi. He exhibits regularly in the Netherlands and France.

 

Veganzones's practice centers on the search for the inexpressible, realities that transcend the merely visible and require a mode of perception that is open to intuition. This interest emerges through the symbolic dimension embedded in everyday life and is expressed through a stratified unfolding of time and experience. In his work, traditional materials and processes such as stucco, gilding, and egg tempera are notused as historical revivals but as slow, disciplined procedures that allow time to revealperceptual densities beyond technical execution.

Veganzones also investigates the role of number as an organizing agent. Inspired by Jung's understanding of number as both a construct and an a priori factor of inner andouter nature, his numerical structures generate rhythms, proportions, and repetitionsthat echo human breath, heartbeat, and blinking.The result is a drawing practice that becomes an evolving state of consciousness.
