About the Item
"Detrás", Behind, it is a work that invites reflection and contemplation. Its square format and careful composition divide the space into two vertical strips, each with its own symbolism and atmosphere. In the main strip, located to the viewer's right, emerges the figure of a Venus behind an imposing cypress tree. The Venus, bathed in a golden light that evokes the sunset, seems to yearn for intimacy. This figure, which is an adaptation of the sculpture “Admiración” located in the Prado Museum, contains a beauty that invites reflection on femininity and human nature. In contrast, the left strip presents an earthy background with the silhouette of the same Venus, but this time painted in blue tones that suggest a shadow. This duality of tones and forms between the two stripes adds depth and mystery to the composition, as if we were observing two facets of the same entity, one tangible and the other ethereal. The color textures are another highlight of this work, masterfully highlighted by glazes that add richness and depth to the palette.

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.
