Nil Santana Born in Madrid, Eugenio Recuenco is now one of the most important Spanish photographers on the international scene. Endowed with a brilliant sensibility for chiaroscuro, he is considered as a true heir of the grand masters of Spanish classical painting like Goya, El Greco and above all Zurbarán. He produces highly evocative scenes, and his photos reveal a mysterious world from which you cannot escape once you stared.
Besides the successful fashion or commercial photographs he signed for well-known brand, Recuenco has had numerous exhibitions in the main galleries in Spain: Circuit 8 (art and fashion), Tras el espejo (Spanish fashion) in Centro de Arte “Reina Sofía”, BAC (Barcelona Arte Contemporáneo) in CCCB of Barcelona, in ABC gallery from ARCO show where he won the first prize of photography, not to mention an exhibition in La Santa (experimental place for contemporary art) in Barcelona. He received for his work Concepción, Parto, Juego y Educación (Circuit, 2003) the ABC Prize of photography, while he was awarded the Lions d’or and de bronze in Cannes festival 2005 for his prints for Playstation. Eugenio Recuenco has recently directed a TV commercial for Nina Ricci. He also conceived the 2007 LAVAZZA calendar, just like Erwin Olaf and David LaChapelle did before him.

I really like Eugenio Recuenco’s work. It looks like frames from a fairy tale movie-especially the last one in this series. It looks like it could be from Snow White or The Chronicles of Narnia. What I also like about him is that all of his pictures look different. They have the same style, but each one invokes a different kind of emotion and has a different appeal than the previous.

I’m going to be quite honest, this stuff Eugenio Recuenco’s work is WEIRD. I have no idea how some of the artist’s come up with some o this stuff. However, I love it. It’s got about everything I like, from the weirdness to the dramatic lighting and fashion photography aspect. You definitely feel the emotional quality of his work.

I really enjoy this work. It is bizarre and otherworldly but in a way that draws you in. Each picture is like a whole new environment to explore. And even in its strangeness it retains this beautiful, elegant quality. His work doesn’t seem cluttered or too busy even though there is a lot going on in some of them.
