About the Item
Face II (Aquiles) is a large format work that is part of the classical series, continuing its exploration of the iconic figures of mythology. In this Rostro II, the protagonist is Achilles, the legendary Greek hero. Inspired by the famous classical sculpture, the artist reinterprets the image of Achilles with a new "skin" of color, giving him a contemporary and timeless presence.
The composition of the face stands out for its treatment in warm tones, where yellows and golden ochers dominate the surface of his skin. Tones that evoke the warmth of the Greek sun and the intensity of Achilles' character. Through a careful play of light and shadow, a sensation of volume and depth is achieved, giving the portrait a palpable vitality.
An underlying layer of blue spots subtly emerges, perhaps symbolizing Achilles' indomitable spirit and inner struggles, and adds an emotional and symbolic dimension to the portrait.

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.
