Introducing Eugenio Recuenco

[Zankapfel]

Born in Madrid 38 years ago, Eugenio Recuenco is now one of the most important Spanish photographers on the international scene. Endowed with a brilliant sensibility for chiaroscuro and hugely cinematic, his photography can be described as pictorial masterpieces rather than simply photographic captures.
Random little fact for Foxie: Senor Recuenco owns 17 cats :D

From Interview:

I use many things as inspiration, one of them are the classical paintings. They are dramatic, histrionic, and all the volumes they get with the use of the lighting. A light that is so far from the modern sophistications of the photographic studios. If you analyze carefully those paintings, the light is so simple, but perfect at the same time.

His inspirations are clear.

A little of Barroco and a little of Oniric aroma from Surrealismo, pure and original spaniard flavours that combine quite interestingly.

As usual in our country, land of artists, our figures are more recognized outside our borders than in home.

Thanks for introduction.
