Julio Anaya Cabanding was born in 1987 in Malaga, Spain, where he currently continues to live and work. Inspired by the work of old masters, Cabanding is known for his meticulous reworkings of classic paintings, employing found materials such as used pieces of cardboard or wood, or the wall itself as his support medium. Such practice derives from the artist’ s endeavor to explore the extent to which paintings can become familiar and accessible. As street art and urban art have come to expand their presence, Cabanding’ s work can be regarded as a new form of 21st century art that attempts to raise questions about the conditions of the current art system which heralds and places emphasis on museum institutions and academism.
