Rocio Urquijo ( Madrid, 21 April 1935 – 9 March 2009) [1] was a Spanish artist and first wife of Filipino industrialist Enrique Zobel.
Urquijo was born to Rosario Novales and Francisco Urquijo. [1] She married the Filipino industrialist and former CEO of the Ayala Corporation, Enrique Zobel, with whom she had two children, Iñigo Zobel and Mercedes Zobel. [2] [3]
Urquijo's works have taken inspiration from the interior design, architecture, and folk arts of Indonesia, Sumatra, Mexico, and various parts of South America and Europe which she encountered during her frequent travels. Her geometric designs were inspired by the carved and painted doors that are commonly found in Sumatra and Bali. The series Oaxaca was influenced by the designs of the Maya.
Urquijo's mixed media works are typically minimal, using strong geometric shapes and a vivid colour palette.
Urquijo exhibited in galleries in Spain, Venezuela, New York City, Singapore, the Philippines, Morocco, and Italy. [4] Her artwork is in public and private collections worldwide.
She has also been recognised as an exceptional and gifted artist.
