About the artist
Jesús Fuertes (1938–2006) was a Spanish artist trained under Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí, major influences that permanently shaped his approach to drawing and the figure.
From a very young age, he is noted for his maturity and freedom of expression.
After leaving Spain at the end of the 1950s, he settled in Paris and then in Brussels, where he developed a personal body of work at the crossroads of surrealism, expressionism, and poetic figuration.
Active in European avant-garde circles, he exhibits alongside major figures of modern art.
His work, focused on drawing, remains sought after today for its simultaneously intimate, sensual, and spiritual dimension.
