A multidisciplinary artist living in San Sebastián, Iker Valle (Andoain, 1976) has developed an individual creative process in his studio in Hernani.

The results of his explorations are reflected in the exhibition of his work during May 2023 in Saint Jean Pied de Port.

Using different techniques and materials, both in painting and sculpture, he works in silence, building on rigorous preliminary preparations to give play to his emotions.

Among his latest works, sketches on paper in black ink recall the beech trees of the forest of Iraty.
