From the strength to Liberty (1993) Painting by Javier Azurdia

Javier Azurdia was born in Chile (1961). He resided for many years in Europe and currently lives in Guatemala. This Chilean-Guatemalan professional painter and digital designer has been recognized for his work in Florence, Rome, and Guatemala. His career has taken him to exhibitions in France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Chile, and the United States. His works of art can be found in many private collections throughout Latin America, Europe, and the United States. From 1982 to 1986, he exhibited exclusively in Europe. With a scholarship, he studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Florence, Italy, where he obtained a BA degree in Fine Arts (1986) and an MA in Art Restoration at Florence’s International University of Art, UIA (1987). In Guatemala’s Rafael Landívar University, he studied architecture, from 1979 to 1981. An important part of his work involves his passion for teaching plastic arts, art history, and advances in digital technology. Hence, for the last ten years, he has carried out training sessions, workshops, and courses in Guatemala and Europe. After being immersed in digital technology for the last nine years, Azurdia has assimilated and profoundly understood this activity. He blends, combines, and develops this art form, resolving forms through color, pictorial layers and transparencies; colors are toned and developed until they take shape.
