20^th Century Spanish

In 1977, after graduating in Philosophy and also in Design and Painting in Santiago de Compostela, Fega travelled to New York and Paris, where he became acquainted with American and the 20^th century European avant-gardes.

His early works were gestural and matter-based landscapes in a style that he gradually left behind as he moved towards Informalismo in an effort to satiate his inexhaustible thirst for creation. Ultimately, he was not as interested in the form as in matter.

His first exhibition was held in 1976 in the Círculo Mercantil in Santiago de Compostela.

In the 1980s, Fega took part in his first group exhibitions, including VI Salón de los 16 organised at the Museo Español de Arte Contemporáneo (1986), or in several editions of the ARCO art fair (1988, 1990, 1991), which provided an important boost to his work, which since then has been seen in a large number of solo and group exhibitions in Spain and abroad. In 1983 he obtained a scholarship for young artists awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Culture and a few years later, in 1987, another scholarship from the Principality of Asturias.

Fega has also made frequent forays in illustrations for books and magazines, such as Arte y Parte, Sublime, Abreojos and Arte y Naturaleza.
