Alaitz Andonegui Recarte. (Donostia, 1975)

​

From early on, i enjoyed music and drawing. i studied solfa at the music conservatory in donostia and learned to play classic harp.

​

Between 1994-1999 i studied fine arts in leioa (bizkaia) and specialized in audiovisuals. i displayed many of my works in bilbao.

​

Once i finished my studies, i had the opportunity to go to como (italy) and participate in an internship at the aleph photograph studio. http://www.alephcomo.com/.

​

One day as i was walking around como, i encountered a store that had a sign which said “lezione di arpa celtica” “celtic harp of lezione”. we created a group of harpists and eventually formed a harp orchestra. in 2003 we edited our first cd and nowadays it’s a recognized orchestra. and i can proudly say i took part in the beginnings. http://www.arpaceltica.com/.

​

Wanting to extend my learning experience in italy, i also worked at the milan tourism office. until 2002 when i started to work in stella verde. http://www.stellaverde.it/. there, i began learning about photografic retouching and photoceramics. thanks to them i was able to start up druyen in 2004 in donostia. http://druyenfotoceramica.com/

​

And in 2004, with my adquired knowledge, i returned to donostia and started this new quest from scratch. it wasn’t easy but i developed a group of loyal customers, who have followed me over the past thirteen years. thanks to them and my dedication i can spread druyen’ s exposure and expand into a new and more creative stage. while never wandering from my main focus of memorial and dedicatory art.

​

I invite you to come along with me in my new stage and hope you enjoy my work as much as i do.
