Biography
Graphic designer, teacher, film art director, and creator in short, Pedro Lombardía is above all a curious and restless man. He graduated from the Oviedo School of Arts, like so many others of his generation, and in his quest, he pursued formal studies in history because he wanted to know more about what occupied his mind, his hands, and his time.
He has exhibited, and continues to exhibit, in so many places. He has received numerous awards. Lombardía's work is treasured in public and private collections: city halls, banks, museums, and official institutions. And today, he honors us with this exhibition at the University of Oviedo.
Lombardía describes his art as “a synthesis of dreams and memories of landscapes." There is much abstraction and geometry in his work. But not only that: in this tireless evolution spanning several decades, he reclaims figuration, strips it bare, and views it from multiple perspectives. He breaks down elements conceptually, sometimes arranging them geometrically.
At other times, the landscape takes over the work, fragmenting into waves and conceptual presences that are then synthesized to move beyond abstraction and return to figurative allusion, in a refined way, where nothing is merely anecdotal. And nothing is missing or superfluous. Not even the sketched shadows of ethereal and diffuse elements.
