Collection: Orrite

Born in Madrid in 1981, Orrite has a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid. He received the Ayllón Scholarship in the specialty of painting, with which he was awarded First Prize.

He likes to work on themes that evoke melancholy, loneliness and silence. For Orrite, one of the most important things is capturing the light in a scene. His realistic and figurative style is transmitted through oil paintings on canvas.

Orrite regularly visits the Nordic countries, more specifically Sweden. His first visit was a turning point in his work. The painter instinctively connected with the tranquility, melancholy and mystery of the Nordic landscape and its people. These sensations and surroundings strongly mark his current work.

Color, light and sensations with special care in the effect of the movement of the brush and paint could serve as a definition to summarize his work.

He has participated in multiple individual and group exhibitions, both national and international, in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bilbao, Paris, Brussels, Lisbon and Mallorca, among others. His work is present in museums, public and private collections.
