About the Item

Musa II. Beautiful woman playing an instrument and still life was painted by Goyo in 1997. Date and signature appear in the lower left corner. It is done with acrylics in a 122 x 66.5 cm. wooden panel. Framed is 148 x 90 x 6.5 cm. Using a classical style with renaissance reminiscences, Goyo paints a profile female portrait playing an ancient instrument. The base of the painting is made up of a still life of fruits and flowers apparently scattered on an abstract background but all the elements contribute to the overall harmony of the composition. The panel was previously treated by the artist to give it texture before starting to apply color. Here are a few words from the artist: “From a very young age, I began to feel attracted by the art of painting, and as of today it continues being my greatest passion.  The first thing I do when I start a painting is to cover the surface with spots of paint, lacking concrete form. Later, I calmly observe these spots and I begin to perceive images that little by little I transform into concrete forms, for example, a landscape, a fruit, figures, and faces.  During this creative process, I try to respect as much as possible the expressive energy from those original spots, as they are the roots that sustain the work. I like to use different pictorial techniques: coal, graphite, watercolor, acrylic, oil…They are different paths that always convey you to the same destiny: the emotion of expressing with images your own ideas and feelings, your own life experiences”. In 2002, Ediciones Sammer published a monograph about Goyo, the first of a collection entitled "Great Contemporary Artist" which has 240 pages as well as reproductions from most of his work from its beginning until publication. Musa II appears published on page 132 and a detail on page 133. That same year, The Spanish Philatelic Postal and Telegraphic Service issued a beautiful series of eight self-adhesive stamp depicting reproductions of eight works by Goyo Domínguez which have "music" as a common theme, as well as a stamp to commemorate Christmas.

Raquel. Large format interior with woman portrait and still-life
By Alfredo Roldan
Located in Segovia, ES
"Raquel" is an interior scene of a young woman, stretched out comfortably on a sofa, surrounded by flowers and fruit. She gazes placidly at the artist, who is portraying her dressed in a nightgown and a colorful dressing gown. Oil on canvas. 2003 Measurements: 90 x 200 cm / 35,43 x 78,74" The rich range of colors used and the relaxed gesture of the model envelop the atmosphere of comfort that prevails in the works of this author because, according to his words: “When I use a model I want her to be very comfortable, rested, calm and relaxed. I am not interested in movement in my work, as it always ends up too artificial for my taste and would interfere with the ambiance I am trying to create”. The flattened perspectives, the fractured surfaces, and the graphic stylizations refer to the cubism of Picasso and Juan Gris. There are echoes of Modigliani in the treatment of his female models and we can detect an homage to Gauguin and Matisse, in his playful and sensual manipulation of color. In 2003 Ediciones Sammer publishes in a deluxe edition the book Alfredo Roldán written by the sculptor David Gamella where a large part of his work is reproduced. This painting, Raquel, is reproduced on the cover of the book and also inside on a double page (294-295). ABOUT THE ARTIST Alfredo Roldán (Madrid- Spain, 1965) is a self-taught artist who, at the age of 22, began selling his works at street markets. In 1994 he won the award granted by the City Council of Madrid with the painting “El Baño Azul”, which now hangs in The Museum of Modern Art of Madrid. That year he began to work with the renowned British dealer...
