Enrique Barro

Graduated in sculpture from Escola Massana in Barcelona and known by his artistic name Enrique Barro, Enrique Bargunyó is a multidisciplinary artist who has focused his practice on painting, drawing, and sculpture. He trained in the studio of Xavier Corberó, where he learned the importance of detail. He is notable for his versatility in using basic materials and tools in their entirety—almost as an act of recycling—transforming a single object into multiple distinct forms and achieving infinite combinations of shapes, colors, and textures. For instance, he uses both the wood shavings from sharpening a pencil (to create sculptures and two-dimensional landscapes) and the chromatic residue of that action, which serves to develop new textures and collages of abstract, isolated bodies. The result, regardless of medium, transports us to new microcosms where colors and shapes invite pure, primal contemplation—one that expects nothing in return—focusing on the joy of witnessing the transformation of everyday elements. His work uncovers the fragile beauty hidden in the smallest parts that make up our vast world. Enrique Barro has exhibited in solo and group shows in cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, and Mexico City, and his work is included in collections like the Fundació Vila Casas and the DKV Art Collection.
