Gorka Pérez Matos
Full of life, joy, and energy, Gorka expresses his personality by executing his work with free rein given to experimentation with colour and painting. To his credit, Gorka brings together very watery and very material works, demonstrating his interest in the study of painting. He develops the design of characters that fully arrest audiences with his dry technique.
