Jorge Urdiales, or "Urde", was born in Cajamarca, Peru in 1953. He resides today in Peru with his wife and child. Urde studied civil engineering and architecture at the University of Cajamarca. His interest in art evolved and he studied painting at the School of Arts in Lima. Restoration studies followed at the School of Arts in Cuzco. Urde's paintings are rich in style, reminescent of the sophisticated portraiture of European masters such as Gainsborough, Van Eyck and Rembrandt. Full figured depictions of regal personages are depicted in a grand way. Settings are filled with classical columns, lush fabrics and pastoral backdrops. 1978-1980 Galeria El Sol 1980 San Isidro Public Library 1981-1983 Galeria El Sol 1983 San Isidro Public Library 1984-1988 Galeria El Sol |
