Juan Cossio

Having shown an early vocation for drawing as well as a great sensitivity for painting, Juan Cossío studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid. Actively involved in the fertile cultural panorama of the 80’s in Spain, Juan Cossío developed an incessant search for experimentation that led him to the limits of pictorial techniques, introducing him to what has come to be known as “New Realism”. Relying on photography as a tool for recording reality and the airbrush as the most suitable working tool for his purposes, Juan Cossío’s work evolves in his constant curiosity to use any means, be it technical or stylistic, to help him express his contemporary aesthetics, the main protagonist of which is the female figure.
