The sculptor Alberto Udaeta studied at the Llotja School of Applied Arts in Barcelona. Between 1970 and 1972, the artist completed an internship in Industrial Engineering at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton and in Design at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. After a period of intense activity as a freelance industrial designer in Europe and North America, he closes his studio in Barcelona in 1982 and moves to Sant Feliu de Guíxols in the Baix Empordà in Girona, where he rehabilitates an old cork stopper factory as a workshop and devotes himself exclusively to sculpture.

His works are based on experience and history; they are intense, essential and comprehensible. He uses traditional techniques used by the Chinese thousands of years ago, a very satisfying craft for the artist as he uses as much time as necessary to make the pieces.
