Aitor Ruiz de Egino

Aitor Ruiz de Egino (Hernani, Guipúzcoa, 7 March 1971) is a Basque artist. His work is mainly focused on sculpture and painting, but he also designs and builds trophies as well as constructions for films, museums or homes. In addition, he has also carried out some artworks with three-dimensional printers. After working in the business world for several years, at the age of 36 he left his job and began to dedicate his professional life exclusively to art. He works with a large amount of materials (aluminum, paper, ceramics, wood, bronze, stainless steel, porexpan ...), but aluminum is the material he likes the most for his work.
