Jurado works in oil, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. Among his many accolades, he won the first Gaudi Waterolor Award in 2008 to which he said “in this world you never know. I have been working for many years and nobody has given me anything. The best of all this is that your name sounds louder and stronger and you become known.” (translated from Spanish)
