Edurne Gorrotxategi

Hello, my name is Edurne Gorrotxategi (born 1965).

The aim is to provide all of you with a way to keep in touch with me and let you know about my work, which is basically an attempt to portray my world through my paintings. Matter is the starting point to show and make my experience known.

As a child I was always encouraged to develop my artistic skills, so I studied drawing and the use of colours from various sources until I finished my degree in Arts at the University of Bilbao. I specialised in Restoration and Preservation of Art Works; therefore, the interaction of materials, their qualities and characteristics are key elements in my work.

My professional career has developed basically in two directions. As far as artistic restoration is concerned, I have always tried to be faithful and respectful to the authors original artistic purpose. As a painter I have also tried to be faithful to my own views when portraying my inner world. Currently I keep on working in both fields in my studio in Getxo (Bizkaia, Basque Country).

I sincerely look forward to your opinions and comments.
