ORIOL ANGRILL JORDÀ
by learning the ways of Nature we achieve the balance in ourselves
I want to make art that shows clear truth and honesty. The world is so fucked up that I can only make art to make people feel connected and understood. Something to believe in, something that inspires a better behavior to ourselves and to our community.
Each piece serves as a reflection of our deepest emotions and thoughts, inviting us on a journey of self-discovery and connection.

Oriol Angrill Jorda's art collections are a different expression of his curated vision of figures and Nature. Using traditional tools such as watercolors and etching techniques, he explores the nature that exists between the line, color, and form. His work is precise and gentle, evoking in each piece a pleasant serenity that makes us stop and behold.
His work also appeals to an organic aesthetics based on natural elements, and with a precise and delicated combination of forms and shapes, each piece claims its own purpose.
There is no better way to explain my work than through the simple act of contemplation.

- It is not easy to define his work, although realism is the constant, each work results from a unique and transitory process and theme. Depending on his experiences and his environment, he uses one type of technique or another, color or black and white: proof of constant and oscillating evolution.-

19 Nov 1986. Barcelona
He studied Illustration at Escuela Superior de Diseño in Palma de Mallorca, where he has grown. He continued learning engraving techniques and life drawing at the Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and The Art Academy in London.
He has worked combining the world of illustration and the art world. Living with a constant duality has marked the a constant devolpment and research of his own style. A traditional and academic foundation is fused with the modernity of the new technologies he uses to create his own references.
To him, the artistic trajectory is a continuous research and resilience to social and individual changes. The art must reflect these thoughts in all magnitude, from the quitest action to the most deep feeling.
