Victor Jaenada (1977, Barcelona) lives and works in Piera, Spain. His practice is a growing accumulation of elements, a universe of real world observations and findings, connected to each other in a series of esoteric ecosystems. Each one of these unfolds in an internal dialogue that comes from and extends to the rest of the ecosystems in his trajectory. The notion of the whole, made by an incalculable amalgam of bits and references, becomes crucial in the experience of the artists’ ongoing and labyrinthic net of archives. An intuitive exploration of the intangible forces that drive us to make decisions, from the smallest gestures to the most transcendent, Jaenada’s work conveys a sense of complex yet stripped down, unadorned, domestic ritualism.

Jaenada began his studies at the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny Llotja in Barcelona in 1994, and continued his training at the University of Barcelona, where he deepened his knowledge of painting and drawing while experimenting with other artistic languages. He has shown his work at art centres such as MNAC (Barcelona), CCEMX (Mexico City), Casal Solleric (Palma), Centro Párraga (Murcia) and the Fundació Antoni Tàpies (Barcelona), amongst others. He has also regularly participated in individual and collective projects in various galleries in the national scene, as well as at art fairs. Some of his works belong to the MACBA archives, and are also found in collections such as Grisart and DKV.
