Daniel Lopez
Bio
Visual artist born in Úbeda in 1991, resides in the United Kingdom where he is currently developing his professional career. In 2008 he began his artistic studies in Cuenca where he carried out a large part of his training and enjoyed several scholarships for collaboration in research projects, as well as a bilateral scholarship that allowed him the opportunity to develop part of his studies at the University of Las Arts of Havana, Cuba. There he had the opportunity to learn about ceramics, a discipline in which he has developed a large part of his work. However, in recent years he has decided not to focus his work on any particular discipline in order to let the line of research determine the language in which each project has to take shape.
