aren’t for him, confessing that viewing modern art is like visiting a primary school on parents evening. “Nowadays, I distinguish two kinds of artist; the one who sells concept or stories and the one who leaves a part of themselves in each piece,” he tells. “The first one doesn’t have any art talent but knows how to write a story to sell it.The second loves the process of creation and once he shows the work, it has already the artist’s background and his technical skill.” However, he acknowledges that all types of art are valid and very much desirable, whether they are paint thrown on a canvas or a lifelike portrait. “I don’t want to be misunderstood, because I think there is a huge interest in what’s behind the artwork, who’s the artist and what does he want to say with that piece. The problem I find is in contemporary galleries and museums, the first group are shown but without any accompanying explanation, which is made much more conscientiously than the piece itself most of the times,” he goes on to clarify. “My advice to aspiring artists are the three basics: Do not make things you wouldn’t buy, make every work as if it were the last one, and everyone has his own path,” he expresses regarding his most important creative life lessons up to now. Oriol is currently working on multiple commissions, with more lined up in the near future but says he can’t disclose any information as to what they might be just yet. “I can’t say anything until it’s finished. But one of my future aims is to learn oil painting and I wish to be living in a refurnished castle as my home-studio,” he reveals.While we can’t stand the anticipation, we certainly
look forward to seeing more from this spirited talent in the future and wish him all the best in obtaining that castle. Original works and prints by Oriol Angrill Jorda are available for purchase via saatchiart.com. For more information visit oriolangrill.com
