Mario De Ayguavives - Another Landscape nº 22

Technique: Digital photography

Artist Biography: Mario de Ayguavives (Zaragoza, 1968) graduated in Fine Arts specializing in Sculpture from the University of Barcelona. He received the Scholarship-Acquisition in the Sculpture Workshop of Calotaro, the First Prize in Sculpture in the IX and X Aragonese Youth Contest of Plastic Arts, the Honorable Mention in Sculpture in the XX Bancaixa Prize of Valencia, and the Honorable Mention in Sculpture in the VII Isabel de Portugal Prize of Zaragoza. His work has been present in the art fairs ARCO in Madrid with galleries such as Spectrum Gallery and Van der Voort Gallery. It also highlights his solo exhibition at the Banco Hispano 20 in Zaragoza, and his inclusion in collections such as those of the Diputación General de Aragón, the Diputación Provincial de Zaragoza and the museums of Contemporary Art in Madrid and Ibiza. Mario de Ayguavives is a photographer who shows us an unnatural nature, remade and manufactured to the taste of the consumer, an image theoretically more pleasing to the human eye, where the taste for symmetry and repetition of man is squeezed to create a disturbing landscape. His images show us a globalized nature, made to man's taste, serialized and manufactured to infinity.

Mario de Ayguavives (Zaragoza, 1968), obtained a degree in Fine Arts from Barcelona University having specialised 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 presented 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 globalised vision of nature, created to man's taste, serialised and fabricated infinitely.
