Aitor Láupe

Aitor Láupe was born 1972 in Vitoria -Gasteiz, Basque Country, Spain. The work of this painter immerses the spectator in a world of subtlety, he stands out for his skill in the handling of colour through layer after layer of paint, he achieves gradients in the painting that invite the spectator to approach the work and establish a connection between the artist, the work and whoever contemplates it.

“I have a marked interest in color and the perception that can affect the viewer. Basically, I work on different supports, this opens up the possibility of expression for me. My field of work when I work on canvas consists of adding very diluted layers of paint in different shades, obtaining gradients in color. I am particularly interested in preserving the texture of the fabric itself in this process.”
