Anibal Argañaraz (b. 1967) is a painter and digital artist born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who has worked in oil on canvas since childhood and in digital media since 2003. Argañaraz photographs physical paintings and retouches them digitally, preserving their expressionist quality while portraying scenes of urban life, its stories, secrets and the evolution of human contradiction.
Argañaraz holds a degree in Visual Arts and has worked as a teacher and video editor. Argañaraz had numerous solo exhibitions in Argentina, including the series Anatomies and Connectors at the Centro Cultural de la Cooperación in 2008, Seas and subways in 2016, and What was left of summer at the Fundación Vocación Humana in 2019. Argañaraz's process brings the two practices together: paintings are made in oil on canvas in the studio, then photographed in high resolution and continued digitally on an iPad, preserving the expressionist, material quality of the original work.
