Moisés Yagües
Murcia, 1974
“Storytelling is an essential activity for human beings. I do it through drawings and paintings. I try to tell stories that communicate with those who observe them and invite them to be transported to different spaces, with no major sonority in their form and aesthetics. Over the years I have developed my own way of expressing ideas through a type of personal figuration where I have been enriched by various influences. A world of singular characters that in spite of their schematic nature give off tenderness and kindness. I consider my style to be simple, defined, fresh and harmonious as a whole. I admit to being influenced by comics, by illustration (Saul Steimber, Tomi Ungerer, Isidro Ferrer, Fernando Khran, Quino, El Roto, Mordillo), by the work of Dubuffet, Fraile, Philip Guston; and also by some street artists like Basquiat or Keith Haring, a very free art, just like when children create”.
Moisés Yagües has shown his work in contemporary art fairs such as ArtMadrid, JustMad and Estampa (Spain), Chaco (Chile), Artelisboa (Portugal), AAF Hamburg/London/Brussels, among others. He has exhibited in galleries in Spain, Germany, USA and Japan. His work has received several awards such as the 1st Young Creators Award of the National Chalcography, Corzon Award in XVI National Printmaking Awards in Marbella, 2nd International Award Carmen Arozena, among others. His work has been selected for biennials such as the XXVIII Biennial of Graphic Art in Ljubljana (Slovenia), IEEB5 in Bucharest (Romania), Münsterlandfestival pArt.3, Münsterlandfestival pArt.3, and IEEB5 in Bucharest (Romania). Lüdinghausen (Germany), among others.
