Enrique Bascón Biography

Enrique Bascón Canales born in Vizcaya, Spain, in 1972.Since childhood I discovered my interest in drawing and painting, but it is in 2001 when I decided to apply to the school of Beaux Arts in the Basque Country University, looking for a full time dedication to my dream. In 2004 I received the Seneca scholarship to go to the Faculty of Art in Barcelona University, where I move searching for the soul of my concept. In December same year, with a clearly defined artistic orientation, decided that the academicism of the school is keeping me away from production and my own way, so I give up the economic scholarship. Following an interest for the human being, for almost three years I venture to travel around four continents, except Africa. I dedicated my time to collect my impressions of the particularities of the human beings defined by the place of birth, sometimes through photography, often through quick sketches. With a firm belief in childhood, and their right to be happy, and consequently the responsibility of adults to offer them a better world, I get involve in a collaborative project with an organization that helps abused children in Costa Rica, where I teach art. In July of 2007, the opening of an art gallery brings me to Cabo San Lucas, where I try to apply my knowledge to the sale. Incompatible with artistic creation I decide to transfer my business. Since that moment I devoted exclusively to art production. With a concept that focuses on the human figure through expression, and the belief that all the human beings are closely bound together, my work reflects both painting and sculpture. Here is a small sample of what I do, I wish you enjoy my world.
