Juan Moreno Aguado holds a BFA from the Complutense University of Madrid. He is noted for the marked realism of his work, his invocation of surrealism in such diverse genres as landscape, interiors, portraits, still life, etc. and his versatility in other disciplines such as engraving and sculpture. His works are like frozen moments, paradoxically reminding us of their own transience, pictorial snapshots in which one can see evident technical skill as well as meticulous, carefully studied prior preparation.
His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions at the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art (Madrid, 2003); the Caja Castilla La Mancha Cultural Centre (Albacete, 2005); and Albacete City Hall (2014). In 1993 he was awarded the Francisco de Goya Prize by the City Council of Madrid, and in 2004 he won First Prize at the City of Albacete Visual Arts Biennial. In 2007 he won the Antonio López García Prize (Tomelloso, Ciudad Real) and in 2012, the First Julio Quesada Prize (Crevillent, Alicante). His work can be found in public and private collections, including the Municipal Museum of Madrid, Tabakalera, the collection of the Ministry of Culture, the BBVA Foundation and the 'la Caixa' Foundation', as well as the Banco de España.
