Jesús Pedraza Villalba's Art Style 

The work of Jesús Pedraza Villalba has always maintained a critical perspective on his own context. With a keen eye, he highlights details that might be invisible to others. Through his oeuvre, he analyzes and revisits subjects that may initially seem specific but, upon closer examination, reveal universal concerns. These concerns are then developed into complex projects that often take years to complete.

History plays a crucial role in his work, influencing and aiding his understanding of society. Jesús is particularly interested in thoroughly knowing our past to better comprehend the complexities of the present.

Often, the artists choose to alter or eliminate what is right before our eyes to reveal, through a delicate and effective process, what remains hidden. Jesús Pedraza Villalba's work has evolved along paths where images disappear, replaced by marks that speak of the past and evoke what once was but is no longer.
