artist/ Echevarria

Espagne

Bilbao, 1944

Federico Echevarría Sainz is an architect, sculptor and painter. The search for movement and dynamism to recreate flexible spatial coordinates is latent in his work.

LOVE FOR PAINTING: An idea that I think inevitably appears when seeing Federico Echevarría’s painting is that it is cultured; that its beauty, its refinement and its mature and reflective manifestation imply a long process of cultural assimilation, right from the origin, rooted in a conception of art, and therefore of existence, in which the habit of culture has a important place alongside the other desires that make up the creator.

FAMILY VOCATION: His interest in art has been forged since childhood, transmitted by his grandfather, José María Sainz Aguirre, Architect, and by his father, Federico Echevarría, his great-uncle, Juan Echevarría and his brother Jorge, painters. All of them very considerable references of Architecture, Sculpture and Painting of the 20th Century.

ARCHITECTURE: Fifty years creating urbanism and architecture around the world. Inspired by the world of art in search of dynamism.
