About the Item
The Blue Column transports us to a space where time appears to stand still. The composition divides the canvas into two parts: at the top, a narrow strip reveals the head of a classical Roman sculpture, a remnant of what once was. The lower part features a vertical rectangle containing a fragment of classical architecture, dominated by a column supporting a lintel. The blue palette creates an almost dreamlike atmosphere, making the column the central element that gives the piece its name.
Beneath the lintel, the silhouette of a man stands out against a golden ochre background, evoking an endless desert landscape. This figure adds an air of mystery: he seems like an explorer who has just discovered an ancient architecture lost in the vastness. His gaze is fixed on the head of the sculpture above, drawing an imaginary line that connects both elements and guides us through the painting.
The Blue Column is a work that combines softness and strength, evoking a world where history and the present merge. With a surrealist touch, the piece invites us to immerse ourselves in its intriguing atmosphere and follow the visual suggestions it offers.

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.
