About the Item
A large oil painting presents a classical sculpture, focusing only on the head and shoulders. In the center of the composition, the face of the sculpture appears pixelated, concealed behind warm tones of reds, oranges, earthy hues, and greens, among other shades. This square section showcases a rich variety of ochres and a detailed texture, with glazes that enhance the figure's volumes and shadows. On the right, the same figure emerges in shadow, bathed in mauve and gray tones, revealing the sculpture's face while absorbing the luminous hues of the central area. In the lower part, a line of vibrant pixels suggests the colors used in the work. This piece is an allegory of human history, color, and its significance in representing beauty in art, reflecting on the duality between the classical and the modern in visual perception.

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.
