Cabeza de Medusa (2012) Painting by Eduardo Urbano Merino

Eduardo Urbano Merino is a surrealistic, figurative, and idealist painter, born in Mexico City, October 8th, 1975.
His accomplished technique is the product of a creative effort to give expression to the oneiric through aspects of everyday life. From his childhood, surrealism has permeated his drawing, later strengthened by his studies of the great masters, Dali and Caravaggio. The painter believes that his is an age characterised by decadence and the loss of authentic values, with many artists using a 'freedom of expression' without any sense of direction, giving way to a dissolute libertinism. He believes there is no ethic in such art, for the true talent of the artist only arises in producing "the best". These pages lend us the opportunity to contemplate and participate in the creative sentiment of a young painter who resists this lifeless presentationalism.
