Borja Barrajón Acedo (b. 1985, Madrid) is a distinguished Spanish abstract sculptor renowned for his profound exploration of the dialogue between space, material and the human experience. As a prominent contemporary artist, Barrajón’s work embodies a deep passion for stone sculpture, transforming raw material into compelling abstract forms that challenge traditional perceptions of order and structure.
Barrajón’s artistic process is a meticulous journey into understanding the inherent limits of his chosen materials. His sculptures emerge from an intimate dialogue with the medium itself, allowing him to continuously question the interplay of elements and their formal aesthetics. Each abstract stone artwork is a unique testament to the conclusions drawn during its creation, reflecting the artist’s emotional state and the contemporary context. Through his art, Barrajón invites viewers into a sensory experience, prompting contemplation on the arrangement of elements, the significance of negative space, and the very essence of their existence.
Consistently merging sculptural tradition with a cutting-edge contemporary vision, Barrajón has garnered significant acclaim throughout his career. His dedication and innovation were recognized early with first prizes in the Manuel Martínez Bragagnolo Sculpture Competition (2009, 2011). More recently, he received the prestigious International Urban Sculpture Contest of the City of Pamplona in 2023, where his monumental ensemble ‘1423’ was inaugurated, alongside the Cosentino III International Sculpture Competition CAPA Prize.
Borja Barrajón’s impactful work has been showcased in numerous galleries and art fairs, receiving praise from both critics and collectors globally. His compelling individual exhibitions, such as “The Identity of Form” (2017) and “The Silence of Matter” (2022), have solidified his standing as one of Spain’s most promising talents in contemporary sculpture.
