About the Item
In Lives, I explore new forms of expression through anonymous figures cut out against pure color backgrounds. These figures, stripped of their original context, are brought into the painting to abstract their existence and reveal only the essential. In this work, a man walks away while a woman moves toward the viewer. Both young, they might know each other—or not. They cross paths in the painting, though perhaps never would in real life.
The characters' clothing offers clues about the era in which they have been captured. Beyond its aesthetic function, clothing plays a vital role in conveying internal information about the figures: it speaks of their identity, their social and cultural context. For instance, a preference for certain colors or styles can reflect aspects of their personality or environment. Thus, the work invites the viewer to pause and observe, discovering in the details of the attire a deeper narrative about the lives represented.

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.
