Dialogues with Memory
With this title, Enrique Estuardo evokes the high degree of aesthetic abstraction of the pre-Hispanic cultures that settled in what is now Ecuador. Utilizing mixed media, gold leaf, oil and acrylic paint, the artist combines a variety of elements to create a visual dialogue of time and memory, which can have many interpretations. The concepts Enrique Estuardo explores in his work are genetic memory and the destruction and reinterpretation of historical and archeological testimony.
Enrique Estuardo
Enrique Estuardo was born in1964 in Salcedo, Ecuador. He earned a Bachelors degree in Architecture from Ecuadors Central University and a Masters Degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM). He has received a variety of awards for his artistic work, including: the National Congress of Ecuadors Dr. Vicente Rocafuerte Gold Medal for artistic merit, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in New York, the first prize in the second exhibition of Ibero-American art from the Northeast Hispanic Catholic Center of New York City, and the National Young Art Prize from the Secretary of Culture in Mexico, among others. He has participated in multiple international exhibitions and his work has been published in more than ten anthologies of Ecuadorian art.
