Girbent was born in Sóller (Balearic Islands) in 1969. In 1986 he enrolled in the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona. He soon dropped out of the university and for a time allowed himself to be seen in the bohemian atmospheres of the Mediterranean city. During this period he devoted himself to watching movies and reading, especially essays and philosophy. In 1989 he traveled to the extinct GDR and managed to enroll in the famous Leizpig Art Academy, where he met Neo Rauch and met M. Weischer and T. Baumgartel. The fall of the Berlin Wall surprises him in Leizpig. In 1990 he exhibited his first paintings in the collective exhibition The Wall, in an alternative space in Berlin. Simultaneously, he explored the world of comics and illustration by publishing (both comics and covers) in the best magazines in the world, such as Totem and Zona 84 in Spain, El Eternauta in Italy or Metal Hurlant in the US. A year later he left Germany and he travels to Mexico City, where he explores the possibilities of video, recording in the places frequented by the Infrarealists, such as the "Quito" café on Bucarelli street (where he seems to still perceive the swarm of the spirits of Roberto Bolaño and Mario Santiago). In Mexico he continues to read compulsively, but his interest has shifted from essays to literature (Borges, Gadda, Joyce...) At the same time, his interest in video art and experimental cinema is growing. He spends the years 1992 and 1993 in the Yucatan peninsula, installed first in Mérida and then in Valladolid. After what he considers his Mexican stage of reflection, he decides to return to his native Mallorca to devote himself to painting. Girbent nace en Sóller (Islas Baleares) en 1969.

- Help is ComingLocated in Ibadan, OyoThis striking artwork captures the essence of a shirtless young man in a moment of profound contemplation. His gaze, both pained and optimistic, fixated upon an unseen horizon, offers a captivating entry point into the complex emotional narrative that underlies the piece. Salaudeen's use of color is masterful, drawing viewers' eyes immediately to the central figure. The young man's skin is rendered in a palette of subtle, earthy tones, emphasizing his vulnerability and humanity. The absence of a shirt lays bare his raw emotions and exposes the vulnerability we all share when facing adversity. However, it is the juxtaposition of the man's countenance that truly captivates the viewer. The artist has masterfully crafted an expression that is simultaneously heavy with the weight of the world and imbued with an undeniable glimmer of hope. The furrowed brow and furrowed lips are etched with the lines of a thousand struggles, yet his eyes betray a flicker of optimism. This duality is what makes "Help is Coming" so compelling; it encapsulates the human experience of confronting adversity, where pain and hope often intermingle in the most profound ways. The title, "Help is Coming," adds depth to the narrative woven into the piece. It suggests that, despite the pain etched onto the young man's face, there is a belief in a brighter future, a conviction that support and relief are on the horizon. This message resonates with viewers on a universal level, serving as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is the potential for change and improvement. Salaudeen's technique also deserves special mention. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in the fine lines and textures that make the young man's skin seem almost tangible. The background, although abstract and dreamlike, subtly hints at the broader context of the man's struggles, inviting viewers to interpret the piece through their own experiences and perspectives. "Help is Coming" is more than just a static image; it is a visual poem that speaks to the shared human experience of pain, resilience, and hope. It encourages us to reflect on our own journeys, reminding us that, no matter how daunting the challenges we face, there is always the potential for relief and redemption. In a world often filled with chaos and uncertainty, art has the power to provide solace and inspiration. Abdulateef Salaudeen...Category
