Juan Sebastián Barberá Durón
Artista plástico
Cd. de México 1964
Translated from Spanish- Son of the great Luisa Durón, he grew up in an almost Renaissance environment, between artists and under the main protection of the baroque music of Bach and Hottetere, Couperin and Scarlatti, among others. Since a very young age, he had a great talent for drawing, painting and sculpture and at the age of ten he won the National School contest of art. From there on, he studied painting and engraving with significant teachers, and was dedicated in a very clear way to the plastic arts from the age of 17 years, after a mystical trip to the India. He continued his studies at the academy of San Carlos and, in a parallel way, studied industrial Design. As with all good young painters, at the beginning it is difficult to get good shows in galleries and museums, but soon he attracted his first sponsors: Mauricio Achar and Luis Méndez Jiménez, who arranged an solo exhibition at the Bookstore Gandhi, the meeting point of Mexican and international intellectuals such as Fernando Savater, Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz… and artists, among them, Arnaldo Cohen, Vicente Rojo, Jan Hendrix, José Luis Cuevas, etc.
From 1990 he traveled to Europe with projects and expositions that permitted him to live for a few years in Vienna, Madrid, Barcelona and Paris. He was inspired by the work of Klimt, Schiele, Goya and Picasso.
He has had over 40 solo shows in art centers, museums and galleries worldwide, in Mexico, Spain, France, Israel, United States and Índia
