URBO – Urban Bodies presents 20 paintings by architect Juan Oyarbide, created between 2012 and 2025, in which the human body becomes a mirror of the contemporary urban condition. Through expressive anatomical studies, the works examine coexistence, struggle, and diversity in city life, inviting reflection on tolerance, dialogue, and shared humanity.
Juan Oyarbide is a London-based architect with over twenty years of experience working on major architectural and urban regeneration projects. He bridges architectural practice with a sustained artistic exploration of the urban human condition.
For more than a decade, Oyarbide has developed URBO, a body of work spanning paintings, drawings, and large-scale murals that investigate how bodies and cities shape one another. URBO: Urban Bodies marks his professional artistic debut, bringing together architecture, mythology, and human experience into a singular visual language.
