ORENCH

Born on March 16, 1958 in Barcelona. Graduated in Criminology and studied Architecture and Psychology at the Universities of UB (BCN), Politécnica (BCN) and UDG (Girona).

His relationship with artistic painting began at a very young age, in the 70s, after spending several stays in Ibiza. It was during this journey that his creative and artistic side was awakened.

His painting has gone from figurative to impressionism, to abstract impressionism, to abstract expressionism... and currently, with creativity, he achieves a subtle balance between figurative-impressionism and abstraction.

When we observe his work, we visualize images, stains, voids, etc. that seem to emerge and fade away before our eyes.

His brushstrokes, as precise as they are ephemeral, dance on the canvas, suggesting shapes that are hinted at without being completely defined. This game of appearance and disappearance creates a visual illusion in which the main motif is partially revealed, inviting the viewer to complete the image from his own perception.

Orench's work thus becomes an experience of active contemplation, where the figurative and the abstract coexist in harmony, achieving an atmosphere that evokes both reality and the mystery of the indefinite.

Orench deconstructs the fundamental elements, those formally structured, giving it a new structure. The concept of landscape as we understand it in painting to develop works of a more abstract nature, which reduce elements of our environment to their most elemental forms. The parts that underpin the work are suggested instead of being represented explicitly, which allows him to work on the same sensations that we would develop when seeing a classic naturalistic painting.

Deconstructing is creating!

His activity is broad, around fifty exhibitions, both individual and collective. Different illustrations, posters, stage sets in plays, participation in charity events, press articles, etc.
