Jesus Mari Arruabarrena is a photographer from Euskal Herria,
the Basque Country, and in me he has found a great admirer. Obviously, the many
berets featured in his works play a role, but much more the humanity that
speaks from his photographs.
Arruabarrena paints a picture of Basque life in its many
facets; old traditions, street photography, but also subjects like cruelty to
animals.
Arruabarrena studied at the Centre of Video Studies in
Madrid and followed workshops by Antoine D´Agata, Giorgia Fiorio, José Manuel
Navia, Ricy Dávila, Oscar Molina, Juan Valbuena, Arianna Rinaldo, Matias Costa and
Victor Steinbserg.takes. He takes part in the (National Geographic) project: “Conocer
España”, gives photography workshops in in some of the cultural centres in
Biscay as well as workshops on documentary photography in UEU (Basque Summer
University).
So far, he has published four books of photography, but not
all are readily available through bookshops. I ordered mine directly from the
author.
