Francisco Naranjo Jurado

I was born in Seville, Spain.
I studied at the University of fine arts in sevilla, Spain and at the school of applied arts and decoration.
at the age of 10 I started my first steps in the workshop of the illustrious painter and director of the Faculty fine arts of Seville d. Manuel Gonzalz Santos.
My concern about the various techniques and styles pictorial I took to an in-depth study thereon.
my artistic life is a continuous search for new ways to express my inner feelings, investigate through color and the forms the spiritual content of the work.I've done several solo and group exhibitions, I have works by different countries. I worked for private collections, galleries and institutions.
I have awards in international competitions.
design for the universal exposition in Seville in 1992, also designed covers of guides of Seville, albums music, covers of books among other works...
My latest works are the fusion of different periods and styles and are made with technical mixed and low reliefs on wood.
I currently work for private collections and exhibitions and just published a book about my work in 2012.
