A striking gestural oil painting by Spanish contemporary artist Nerea Caos, exploring the psychological presence of the human figure through an intense abstract expressionist language.
The composition suggests the apparition of a dark angelic figure emerging from a vortex of chromatic tension, where blacks, violets and reds collide in energetic layers of paint. The result is a powerful visual field balancing emotional violence and poetic structure.
Rather than describing a literal subject, the painting constructs a presence. A figure appears, dissolves and reappears inside the surface, echoing the tradition of post-war European gestural painting while maintaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility.
Caos works at the intersection between psychoanalysis and painting. Her canvases function as emotional topographies where conscious gesture and unconscious impulse coexist. The surface becomes a psychological stage rather than a representational space.
This work belongs to her mature expressive vocabulary and clearly reflects her investigation into fragmented corporeality and symbolic identity.
A compelling acquisition for collectors interested in emerging European abstract expressionism and psychologically driven contemporary figurative abstraction.
Nerea Caos (born 1993, Spain) is a contemporary abstract expressionist painter based in Sitges near Barcelona.
Her artistic practice merges painting, performance and psychoanalytic research, creating emotionally charged compositions where fragmented body structures and symbolic presences emerge through gesture and texture.
Her work explores the relationship between conscious perception and unconscious imagery, positioning her within a new generation of European painters investigating identity through expressive abstraction.
Living and working in the Mediterranean artistic environment of Sitges, her production reflects both psychological intensity and chromatic luminosity characteristic of contemporary Spanish gestural painting.
Her work resonates with the expressive legacy of:
Antoni Tàpies
Jean-Michel Basquiat
Georg Baselitz
Anselm Kiefer
Cy Twombly
This dialogue situates her practice within the lineage of post-war gestural abstraction and psychologically charged contemporary European painting.

Nerea Sánchez Castro, born in Ferrol, Galicia in 1993, an art student since high school, with constant private training in Art and Performance, studies Early Childhood Education and heads to Barcelona at the age of 21, where she studies Psychoanalysis at the School of Psychoanalysis of Barcelona, a subject that always caught his attention and that he will later make of it his profession. He lives in Sitges, a place that inspires him when it comes to creating, thanks to the landscapes rich in colors, shapes, nature, as well as a unique light that the Mediterranean gives off, not without forgetting the cosmopolitan social environment, with a lot of fashion and art present. completely innovative in the place. Nerea continues with her training in Gestalt Theater Therapy where she is currently participating in Barcelona.
His continuous passion for the unconscious and art has led him to merge the two disciplines into one and create works framed in the artistic current of abstract expressionism, which allows him to experiment with his conscious emotions and his unconscious sensations.
He likes to compose from the dissociated forms of the human body and the mixture of textures and colors that play with contrast. “I live by creating and representing characters that facilitate the staging of everyday life. I work with people, with whom I develop my maximum potential, we find together the originality of each one, the reason to give light and self-awareness, while new works emerge in my moments of solitude, which my unconscious has saved to come out at unexpected moments. … I represent works that connect me with childhood and at the same time with the present, and that without a doubt, my personality finds its voice through there; Psychoanalysis, painting and performance complete me, I give the world my best part”. Her signature is CAOS, by Sánchez-Castro, Nerea CAOS, since as she herself says “The best ideas emerge from CHAOS, but only when you manage to get the apex of exquisiteness out of it, it is good to make mistakes, try and experiment, only then will different and original things emerge”.
