Urquijo was born to Rosario Novales and Francisco Urquijo.[1] She married the Filipino industrialist and former CEO of the Ayala Corporation, Enrique Zobel, with who she had two children, Iñigo Zobel and Mercedes Zobel.[2][3]
Art
Inspiration
Urquijo's works were inspired by the interior design, architecture, and folk arts of Indonesia, Sumatra, Mexico, and various parts of South America and Europe which she encountered during her frequent travels. "Traveling is for me a great stimulus for creativity. I discover something in every culture."[citation needed] Her geometric designs were inspired by the carved and painted doors that are commonly found in Sumatra and Bali. The series Oaxaca was influenced by the designs of the Maya. "It's the places (I've) seen and the things (I've) experienced", Urquijo says, "that finally make a work of art."[citation needed]
Urquijo's mixed media works are typically minimal, using strong geometric shapes and a vivid colour palette.
