Jorge Aguilar–Agon’s own words:-
I am of the opinion that artists are born rather than made, being a self taught artist. I believe that, because I was given a natural talent for artistic expression, sooner or later I would have been compelled to find an avenue to channel the creative energy. Let me qualify these statements:-
I was born in Barcelona in 1936, right at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. I became the product of the religious public school system that took me to High School and University. Later, equipped with a degree in Agriculture, I left Spain, seeking broader horizons on a journey of self-discovery, with a baggage full of dreams, enthusiasm and determination.
Years of Travelling, painting, and over 100 individual exhibitions built around me a very rich pattern of visual references that are bursting to be put down on canvas. This should go some way to answering the well-voiced question – “Where do you get your inspiration, Jorge?”
Looking back over the years I realise that it has already been a long journey and, as in the case of a long distance runner, it helps to be able to release massive amounts of energy at prescribed times. My life so far has been very intense, not to say hectic. Contrary to popular belief, this profession requires a solid mental and physical constitution. I believe that the controlled, but constantly active, release of inner force, which can be called and inspirational flame or, simply, creative energy, assures the longevity that artists enjoy.
London and Cambridge
These days I divide my time working between the studios in London and Cambridge, with regular painting journeys throughout Europe. I still visit my favourite spots, the townscapes, landscapes and seascapes of France, Italy, Holland, Spain, Greece, not forgetting the World Tours.
Best time of day
I suppose that most artists have a favourite time of day, subject and season. I would say that for total exhilaration, it should be midday summer on a Greek Island. And for quiet and repose, an autumn afternoon on a Parisian Park. Should you meet me, please come and say ‘Hello’!
