Isidro Gallego Domínguez, b. Malaga 1972
Son of Isidro and Ana.
Architect by E.T.S.A.M, 1998. (Madrid)
I remember the mud from the works on my father's shoes ... I remember the clay of the sculptures in my mother's hands ... When I was a child, I wanted to be an architect to help my father with the works, I thought that it must be dangerous and that my duty was to be there to protect him. When I was a little older, with the inspiring help of my mother, I began to draw, to paint, to create things in a somewhat arbitrary way until that habit became a vital necessity. At 18, I came to Madrid. My first day of class I thought that perhaps I had aimed too high with that of doing Architecture ... but then the second day arrived and when I saw that this panic was something general, I began to feel part of it, and I understood that sacrifice was the only one path. Soon that sacrifice translated into satisfaction; the satisfaction of knowing in your hands the possibility of creating, dreaming and building ..., although for that I could never get away from intensity, discipline and obsession, blessed obsession. I feel the deep need to create, to find the way to develop everything that is constantly born in my mind.
