Víctor Jaenada (Barcelona, 1977). Studied fine art, firstly at the Llotja Art School in Barcelona and later at the University of Barcelona Art Faculty. In 2007 he turned abandoned premises in the town of Esplugues de Llobregat into his studio. He worked there until 2013, when he moved into the Hangar production centre. He now lives and works on his multidisciplinary projects in Barcelona.

The driving force behind Jaenada’s art is the reaffirmation of life. This pulse, always awaits, latent under different surface layers that often refer to personal themes, or to current and/or popular cultural events. Jaenada’s works always have a radical, hurried look at first glimpse, but more careful examination reveals mysterious, solid, perverse structures.

Outstanding works include the solo exhibition Romanticisme-Punk at Galeria Balaguer, the group show Atrévete si quieres a no hacer nunca lo que debes, at Galería T20, his participation in the exhibition Factotum at the Antoni Tàpies Foundation and the inclusion in the MACBA archive of the fanzines created with Efrén Álvarez, Poemas de interpelación and La bestia y el repartidor de butano. Víctor Jaenada also regularly takes part in art festivals like Summa, Swab, Pinta and Arco.
