Angel Orcajo, born in Madrid in 1934, is an artist whose works are voyages into the depths of human emotions and existential mysteries. Educated among the great masters of his era and spending his student years with Marc Chagall, Orcaho has left an indelible mark on the art world.
Deeply inspired by the creativity of Van Gogh, this influence is evident in his bold and expressive use of color. In my view, his canvases do not merely depict life or nature scenes—they transform them, imbuing each element with a unique dynamism and emotional intensity. In his paintings, each brushstroke and color transition carries profound meaning and emotional power.
Orcaho’s uniqueness lies in his ability to merge classical techniques with avant-garde ideas. He masterfully manipulates light and shadow to create unusual and captivating compositions on his canvases. His works astonish with their depth and dimensionality, compelling the viewer to see beyond the visible.
Orcaho has created a series of large-scale canvases dedicated to great spiritual figures who have influenced him with their achievements, thoughts, and creative paths.
For instance, Angel Orcajo held profound respect for Igor Stravinsky, whose music inspired him. Andrei Tarkovsky’s reflections on Marcel Proust and his obsession with love opened new horizons for the artist. Works by Henry Moore, the British sculptor who dreamed from childhood of greatness and achieved his dreams, also appear in Orcaho’s paintings. For Orcaho, it was crucial not just to convey, but to deeply experience the inner world of these remarkable individuals. As a result, his paintings are devoid of cruelty and violence. Instead, they are imbued with emotions that encourage the viewer to reflect and delve into the depth of the stories presented on the canvas.
Angel Orcajo is more than just an artist. He has the ability to open doors for the viewer into unexplored spaces of imagination and beauty. His work combines passion and dreaminess, and each painting reflects his endless creative search and love for art.
