About the Item
The artwork “Crátera”, rendered in oil on linen mounted on panel in a panoramic format, invites viewers to immerse themselves in an urban landscape that comes to life at dawn. The city, outlined in silhouette, reveals the majesty of its old buildings, houses with rooftops, a prominent tower, and a balcony adorned with a streetlamp. This fragment of the ancient city becomes a silent witness to the transition between darkness and light that marks the beginning of the day. The sky, painted in ochre tones with clouds tinged in shades of green, creates a unique atmosphere, merging with a shadowy space that provides an intriguing backdrop. It is in this dimly lit space that the crater emerges, illuminated from above, capturing the viewer’s attention. The crater, as the central element of the composition, reveals an intricate and detailed scene of centauromachy. This mythological theme, depicting the battle between centaurs and humans, adds a symbolic layer to the piece. The fusion of urban and mythological elements in “Crátera” creates a unique visual narrative that invites reflection. The duality between the ancient and the mythological, along with the transition from darkness to light, provides a rich terrain for interpretation, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the work and discover their own connections and meanings.

Born in Madrid, Spain, he pursued Interior Design studies but his aptitude for painting led him to focus on this art form. In 1986, he joined the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where he spent several years drawing and painting figures from life. In 1989, he became a copyist of Art Works at the National Prado Museum in Madrid, a role he continued for several more years. He took painting courses with Daniel Quintero and Eduardo Úrculo, and engraving courses at the National Mint of Madrid with José Hernández, Daniel Gil, Paco Mora, and Luis Cabrera. He has held solo and group exhibitions in various national and international galleries. He has been selected for numerous national competitions and has won several awards, including the 2nd Prize at the Caballeros de Yuste, finalist in the VIII Laura Otero, Honorary Medal at Sotillo de la Adrada, 5th Prize at the XVIII Antequera in Málaga, Honorary Medal at the XXII López-Villaseñor, XLII Antonio López Painting and Drawing Competition in Tomelloso, Ciudad Real, and First Prize in Small Format Painting at AGORA96 in Cádiz. He was a finalist in the Ynglada-Guillot Foundation Drawing Competition in Barcelona. His most recent selections include Daimiel and Virgen de las Viñas 2022, Laura Otero (finalist), and Valdepeñas 2023. In 2018, he was selected to exhibit at the Art Revolution Taipei International Art Fair and at the X-Power Gallery in Taipei.
