Introduction
Hi there,
My name is Juanjo López Brotons and I am a Spanish multidisciplinary artist currently living in Cologne, Germany. Although at the beginning of my professional career I studied International Business and worked in the international transport sector for some years, later I decided to redirect my life by graduating in Art and Design at the Escola Massana of Barcelona and start a life focused on artistic and creative practices.
During that time I received several scholarships to participate in workshops and at the end of my studies I was selected by my university ( partnered with the artist Gemma Barbany ) to curate an art exhibition, which brought together the most relevant artistic works of various art schools in Barcelona.
In relation to my development as an artist, although I have a certain affinity for graphic design, I have ended up focusing my artistic work in the field of painting, photography and illustration.
To date I have exhibited my paintings both in Spain and in Germany in places as diverse as art galleries, churches (best place to exhibit my geometric abstract art 🙏) and law firms, among others. I have also received several grants and mentions for my work, which I am very grateful for and met wonderful people along the road.
And now, some CV info 👇
