Vuhed is the artist name of Oscar de Dompablo, who lives and works in the town of Zarzalejo in the northwestern Sierra de Madrid in Spain. Artist Statement A reason appears, for example, the drought we are suffering, and immediately afterwards I see images that I need to shape. I make sketches with markers, pencils, whatever I catch, I do and look for photos until I come up with the idea. Sometimes I am impulsive and I paint without preamble. Then I use drawing, loads of paint, drips, action painting, on canvas and boards, almost always with black, red, white and earth acrylics. I like the expressive and visceral, figurative with dabbling in the abstract to express my opinion of the world I see. I want my portraits, human figures, animals, trees and landscapes to be a cry, mute, not mere decoration... My preferences are many, there are so many beautiful sources that I drink from as many as I can! Sometimes I look for inspiration and other times it comes without warning. I love the reward of hunting it, creating and communicating! Vuhed Óscar De Dompablo (Vuhed) is a landscaper by profession and has a professional gardening company. But he has been dedicating himself to painting for a long time, he began painting comics at a very young age and self-taught and later began to take painting courses and workshops. Later he completed a higher degree in fine arts and design techniques applied to murals at the La Palma school in Madrid.
