Moisés Yagües
1972, Murcia.
Self-taught training. He is a teacher of artistic education in Murcia, work that he combines with art. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums in different cities around the world like New Mexico, China, Germany, Slovenia, Barcelona, Madrid... and has received several awards. But what he likes to do best whenever he can is to read and illustrate books for both children and adults.
He tries to express his imaginary world, internal affairs, minimal stories, small individual oddities that he tries to defend against so many common places. Among the works you can find lonely people, human movements and borders, loves and dislikes, small tragedies, beings inclined to the abyss, ironic drawings...
He uses graphic technique a lot, since he feels more comfortable with it and through it he has discovered different ways to treat the same idea.
As for the symbolism, he often repeats the shape of the head. It is an element that motivates him and suggests many ideas, because, after all, the head is the place where those little stories live, full of corners where to hide ideas, desires and other secrets. The works have many meanings and it is the spectator who contributes a different look that enriches or impoverishes the meaning with his valuation.
