About the Item
"Writings I" is a work that invites reflection on the nature of writing and the human creative process. With a vertical format divided into two distinct parts, the painting displays a composition rich in symbolism and meaning. In the lower part, there is the head of a Roman sculpture, a woman who evokes the figure of a goddess, symbolizing writing and human thought. This representation suggests the ancestral connection between humanity and written expression, highlighting the importance of intelligence and thought in the cultural development of humanity. The head of the sculpture is superimposed on a background that appears to contain indecipherable writing, composed of signs that evoke the diversity of languages and writing systems throughout history. In contrast, the upper area of the painting presents a square that houses a warm gray background, from which a large carmine stain emerges. This stain symbolizes the idea that takes shape on paper, the creative act that gives life to writing and literature. It reflects the process of literary creation, where ideas take form and are expressed through words, leading to the transmission of knowledge and human experience.

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.

His most recent selections include Daimiel and Virgen de las Viñas 2022, Laura Otero (finalist), and Valdepeñas 2023.
