Aitor Lajarin-Encina (B.F.A. University of Basque Country, Bilbao; M.F.A. University of California, San Diego) is a Spanish an artist, educator and organizer currently living in Fort Collins, CO. He is the assistant professor of painting in the Department of Art and Art History at Colorado State University, where he teaches painting, drawing and socially engaged art practice courses.
Lajarin-Encina’s Big Wave collection is a body of work that has an intense, immersive quality, and thick existential atmosphere, and draws the viewer into the various dreamy scenes where strange, odd, mysterious events and situations unfold and occur. They, like most of his paintings, are visual poems that invite viewers to dive into vignettes of existential suspense that aim to trigger philosophical ruminations about life, interpersonal relationships and relationships with the environment.
