I use objects that are visually poetic for me, and, very especially, those that I can transform by the dramatic action of light in space”.

  • Still life with basket. Spanish Contemporary Figurative Realism. Oil on panel
    Located in Segovia, ES
    Still life with basket ("Bodegón con canasto #2"). Spanish contemporary figurative realism. Oil on panel. Dimensions: (H) 61 x (W) 100 x (D) 2 cm. / Inches 24.02 x 39.37 x 0.79 " Framed: (H) 73 x (H) 112 x (D) 4 cm. / Inches 28.78 x 44.09 x 1.57 " The fruits contained in an overturned basket are scattered on the table around an old bottle covered with esparto grass, giving a rich note of color and contrasting textures. The warm light projected on the entire scene, the roughness of the back wall with its shadows, and the brightness of the horizontal plane of the table, constitute the environment of this delicate composition. Juan Carlos Ospina Ortiz (Colombia 1963), practices realistic figuration with themes of clear Spanish influence. The artist settled in Andalusia (Spain), where, searching for his roots, he immersed himself in the music, folklore, and traditions of that country. In his timeless classic still lifes, we can see the influence of the great masters of 17th century Spanish painting such as Zurbarán and Sanchez Cotán.
