In loving memory of Human Rights

Eugenio Merino

Since he began his prolific artistic career, the work of Eugenio Merino (Madrid, 1975) has reflected problematic situations in contemporary society such as politics, war, religion or issues that generate social controversy. The artist often takes a cynical role, showing naked truths and uncovering uncomfortable visions, visible elements in this funeral urn with the ashes of Eleanor Roosevelt’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights inside.
