Luis Agulló is a Spanish artist whose career is defined by a deep exploration of movement, material, and visual symbolism.
His most emblematic series, Pájaros (Birds), emerges from a dynamic vision of nature, represented through the image of a flock of birds in flight. The work invites reflection on multiplicity, rhythm, and the transformation of form in space. The dynamism of the series is conveyed not only through composition but also through a unique technique: direct incision into the surface, evoking both the dematerialization of painting and a sculptural intervention in the pictorial plane — reminiscent of Lucio Fontana’s spatial investigations.
Agulló uses materials such as linen and cotton papers and canvases, often handcrafted, giving his works a tactile, poetic quality. His artistic approach draws on references ranging from the ancient iconography of birds in art history to Futurism, the chronophotography of the Bragaglia brothers, and the plastic dynamism of Giacomo Balla.
Before fully dedicating himself to the visual arts, Luis Agulló had a distinguished career as an automotive designer. After earning a degree in Business Administration and Management, he studied Transportation Design in Turin, where he graduated with top honors. In 2005, he received the prestigious international award Ferrari – New Concepts of the Myth, leading him to join the founding team of the new Ferrari Design Center in Maranello (Italy), where he contributed to the creation and development of several prototypes for the brand.
Since 2007, he has focused entirely on artistic research, gaining recognition from prominent institutions and competitions. In 2015 and again in 2018, he was selected as a finalist for the BMW Painting Prize, one of Spain’s most prestigious art awards, presented by H.M. Queen Sofía. His work has been exhibited at international art fairs such as Off Art Brussels and Busan Art Fair (South Korea), as well as in renowned galleries in Basel, Miami, Madrid, and Marbella. In 2019, his art appeared on the cover of Revista de Occidente and in major institutional exhibition catalogues.
Since 2021, his work has been part of the Archive of the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art in Cuenca.
