About the Item
Shelf II is a work that reveals the intimacy of a personal space through the representation of a fragment of a bookshelf in the artist's studio. With a vertical format this oil on board captures the essence of family and personal history through the careful arrangement of everyday objects. The composition of the painting follows a pyramidal design that guides the viewer's gaze to the apex, where a solitary wooden pipe stands as a symbol of culmination.
On the three shelves, one finds a variety of items that tell stories. An antique radio evokes times past, while a light bulb suggests the light of thought and inspiration. An antique cardboard box and a film reel add a nostalgic and personal touch. Glass elements not only provide reflections that enrich the visual texture, but also create a sense of depth and movement.
The strategic use of a mirror doubles the viewer's perception, inviting them to explore different perspectives and points of view. In this way, the painting plays with optical illusion, becoming a visual metaphor for the way memories and stories intertwine in memory.

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.
