Raul de la Torre for sale on 1stDibs
Raúl de la Torre is a modern abstract artist who weaves tapestries of color using paint rather than textiles. His vibrant abstract paintings feature bold lines that seem to jump off the canvas.
A native Barcelonian, de la Torre was born in 1964. He graduated from the University of Barcelona with a degree in marketing direction before deciding to pursue art at Escola Massana. He participated in his first group exhibitions in 2005 in Narbonne, France, and Kranenburg, Germany.
De la Torre has a unique painting style that allows the materials to become the stars of each piece. He begins by choosing a color palette that conveys certain moments, people or feelings. Using acrylic paints, he creates blocks of colors that intertwine in patterns on the canvas. Finally, he makes numerous horizontal cuts into the piece and weaves cotton thread into the area, giving it an additional dimension.
After moving to the United States, de la Torre held his first exhibition in the country at Assunta Fox Gallery in Santa Clara, California, in 2006. He has subsequently showcased his work across the United States, most frequently in California but also in New Mexico, Colorado, New York, Illinois and Maryland.
De la Torre is an in-demand artist whose commissioned work is in private collections and on public display around the world. His paintings are on view at the Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi, the Tropicana Las Vegas and Morgan Stanley in San Francisco and New York. His work is in the private collections of the Rothschild family, the Feller family and the Boston Private trust and bank.
De la Torre plays an active role in the California art community. He is a member of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Council and the Los Angeles Art Association.

Finding the Right abstract-paintings for You
Bring audacious experiments with color and textures to your living room, dining room or home office. Abstract paintings, large or small, will stand out in your space, encouraging conversation and introducing a museum-like atmosphere that’s welcoming and conducive to creating memorable gatherings.
Abstract art has origins in 19th-century Europe, but it came into its own as a significant movement during the 20th century. Early practitioners of abstraction included Wassily Kandinsky, although painters were exploring nonfigurative art prior to the influential Russian artist’s efforts, which were inspired by music and religion. Abstract painters endeavored to create works that didn’t focus on the outside world’s conventional subjects, and even when artists depicted realistic subjects, they worked in an abstract mode to do so.
In 1940s-era New York City, a group of painters working in the abstract mode created radical work that looked to European avant-garde artists as well as to the art of ancient cultures, prioritizing improvisation, immediacy and direct personal expression. While they were never formally affiliated with one another, we know them today as Abstract Expressionists.
The male contingent of the Abstract Expressionists, which includes Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, is frequently cited in discussing leading figures of this internationally influential postwar art movement. However, the women of Abstract Expressionism, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and others, were equally involved in the art world of the time. Sexism, family obligations and societal pressures contributed to a long history of their being overlooked, but the female Abstract Expressionists experimented vigorously, developed their own style and produced significant bodies of work.
Draw your guests into abstract oil paintings across different eras and countries of origin. On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive range of abstract paintings along with a guide on how to arrange your wonderful new wall art.
If you’re working with a small living space, a colorful, oversize work can create depth in a given room, but there isn’t any need to overwhelm your interior with a sprawling pièce de résistance. Colorful abstractions of any size can pop against a white wall in your living room, but if you’re working with a colored backdrop, you may wish to stick to colors that complement the decor that is already in the space. Alternatively, let your painting make a statement on its own, regardless of its surroundings, or group it, gallery-style, with other works.
