About the artist:

Pedro Quesada was born in Madrid, in 1979. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and studied at the School of Arts and Crafts “La Palma”, Madrid with a special focus in drawing and sculpture and at the Drawing Academy "Peña". ​His works reflect on his childhood, and adolescence and are held through his reliefs and sculptures. His realistic works started with wood, clay, or resin, to reach the viewers as a pure vision of those stages of life in which we are most vulnerable.

"I believe that working with what surrounds me -my family, friends, my house, my environment- allows me to reach greater truthfulness because none of these topics are indifferent to me. Inevitably they affect me. Although this does not mean that I am not open to commissions or situations that may surprise me.

I believe that each artist connects or tunes in to certain aspects of life, because, for whatever reason, they affect him/her more. I connect with the vulnerable and fragile aspects of the human being. We are not as powerful as we think.

When I work I trust to create a climate of intimacy with the theme, with the model that poses for me, because this is how I think I will be able to get to know some real aspect of that model and express it plastically. Somehow I hope that the model trusts me and gives me something true and that I can portray it."
