About the Item
At the heart of this clearly surrealist painting is a window, a portal to the outside world that holds multiple meanings and suggests a profound reflection on the human condition.
On its lintel, a sculptural head, majestic and enigmatic, presides over the space with an almost divine solemnity. It is a reminder of human ingenuity, of the wisdom that distinguishes us and transcends the barriers of time and space. The bold perspective of the window opening amplifies its dimension, as if inviting the viewer to enter a parallel universe, to explore the confines of the mind and imagination. The floating spheres, engraved with the letters A and Z, embody the human alphabet, the primordial code that allows us to communicate, understand and transcend. The meticulously crafted textures capture the very essence of the human universe: complex, diverse, rich in nuances. From the lintel of the window, a journey from darkness to clarity, from ignorance to knowledge unfolds. This work is a tribute to our ability to understand, to create, to make sense of the world we inhabit.

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.
