Artist Pablo Jurado Ruiz, born in Málaga, Spain in 1973.
His work is characterized by portraits of great expressiveness and highly detailed. With a style close to realism combined with neo-impressionism. Pablo tells stories deeply rooted in his soul, metaphors of his own vital experience and his surroundings. His creative concept is mainly based on the human expression furnished with keen and delicate details. Pablo speaks of the deepest feelings in a metaphorical way as if it were a dream, a glance, a gesture or a scene. “My own vision of life reflected through portraits or scenes that show childhood, when our being is formed that will accompany us for the rest of our lives. Adolescence, as a paradigm shift, maturity and acceptance of it. And metaphorical scenes of the world around us”.

His formal artistic training includes the School of Arts and Crafts in Málaga and diplomaed in graphic design and advertising at the School of Techniques and Methods of Design of Málaga.
It is in this period when he begins to work with various techniques. He draws with pencil and ink, he paints with acrylic, oil, watercolour, on paper, canvas, table, etc. His curiosity causes him to continuously experiment and express himself through comics, posters, even audio-visuals. As a child Pablo recalls spending endless hours at his grandfather’s studio observing how he, an impressionist painter, brought paintings to life. “I scribbled figures on papers and tried to imitate him staining a small canvas he always kept for me. At times I would read comics that he also kept for me and created my own ones”.

Pablo believes that life keeps placing him in front of forms and circumstances from which he attains inspiration. This is how, being barely twenty years old, the opportunity to travel to Anchorage (Alaska) arises and thus his first real foray into the art world. For the first time, he paints large paintings, combining various techniques. This trip changes radically both his personal and artistic life, it is a fundamental growth which expands his vision in every way.
​
So when he returns to Málaga after a period of time, although Mediterranean light and culture always captivates him and accompany him everywhere, he feels again the need to depart. This time fate brings him to Manchester (England), where he paints murals and begins working with photography. When he returns to Spain, he settles in Madrid. Through almost a decade he develops and works more intensively on photography and inspired from the visual language of black and white, he takes up again the paper and the ink, a format which allows him to convey his ideas in a more clear and dramatic way. His work is held in private art collections in China and South Korea.

Artista Pablo Jurado Ruiz, nacido en Málaga, España en 1973.
Su obra se caracteriza por retratos de gran expresividad y muy detallados. Con un estilo cercano al realismo, combinado con neoimpresionismo. Pablo cuenta historias profundamente arraigadas en su alma, metáforas de su propia experiencia vital y su entorno. Su concepto creativo se basa principalmente en la expresión humana cargada de detalles agudos y delicados. Pablo habla de los sentimientos más profundos de una manera metafórica como si fuera un sueño, una mirada, un gesto o una escena. "Mi propia visión de la vida reflejada a través de retratos o escenas que muestran la infancia, cuando se forma nuestro ser que nos acompañará el resto de nuestras vidas. La adolescencia, como cambio de paradigma, la madurez y la aceptación de la misma. Y escenas metafóricas del mundo que nos rodea".
 
Su formación artística incluye la Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Málaga y diplomado en diseño gráfico y publicidad en la Escuela de Técnicas y Métodos de Diseño de Málaga. Es en este período cuando comienza a trabajar con varias técnicas. Dibuja con lápiz y tinta, pinta con acrílico, óleo, acuarela, papel, lienzo, madera, etc. Su curiosidad hace que experimente y se exprese continuamente a través de cómics, carteles e incluso audiovisuales. De niño, Pablo recuerda pasar horas interminables en el estudio de su abuelo observando cómo él, un pintor impresionista, daba vida a sus obras. “Dibujaba figuras en papeles y trataba de imitarlo manchando un pequeño lienzo que siempre guardaba para mí. A veces leía cómics que él también guardaba para mí y creaba los míos".
 
Pablo cree que la vida le sitúa frente a las formas y circunstancias de las que obtiene inspiración. Así es como, con apenas veinte años, surge la oportunidad de viajar a Anchorage (Alaska) siendo su primera incursión real en el mundo del arte. Por primera vez, pinta grandes cuadros, combinando varias técnicas. Este viaje cambia radicalmente su vida personal y artística, es un crecimiento fundamental que expande su visión en todos los sentidos.
 
Así que cuando regresa a Málaga después de un período de tiempo, aunque la luz y la cultura mediterráneas siempre lo cautivan y lo acompañan a todas partes, vuelve a sentir la necesidad de partir. Esta vez el destino lo lleva a Manchester (Inglaterra), donde pinta murales y comienza a trabajar con la fotografía. Otra vez de vuelta a España, se instala en Madrid. A lo largo de casi una década, desarrolla y trabaja más intensamente en fotografía e inspirado en el lenguaje visual en blanco y negro, retoma el papel y la tinta, un formato que le permite transmitir sus ideas de una manera más clara y dramática. Su obra se encuentra en colecciones de arte privadas en China y Corea del Sur.
