AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description of the work 'Persona'
Original, unique work.
Mixed technique (acrylic, pigments, oil stick, charcoal, pencil, waxes, Chinese ink, and gesso) on canvas.

Work created from free improvisation with music by Extremoduro.

A story of the past and the present. The unknown, what slips through our fingers... Nature, antiquity, the earthly and the spiritual. We believe ourselves to be gods, but we are only monkeys that have come to more.

Gestural, intuitive painting that allows things to happen and relies on what appears. Embracing accidents and accepting the consequences. The need to tell stories, to leave a mark, to understand the world, which is always modern and ancient.


The work is delivered without a frame (professional packaging, rolled in a tube). Your local framer will need to re-stretch it and mount it on a frame.

The indicated measurements are for the canvas once stretched and mounted on the frame. The actual measurements of the canvas are larger to allow for its mounting.

Hand-signed on the back. Includes an authenticity certificate.

Seller's Story

Spanish expressionist painter. "I develop a lyrical, gestural and intuitive painting. Trying to connect with the most primitive part of my brain. It is a layered work, where the new covers the old but a trace always remains. I like to say that I paint with a lost gaze, without paying much attention to what appears on the canvas, accepting and taking advantage of the accident. I am a biologist by training and I am interested in everything that has to do with the origin of life on Earth, the evolution of species and especially our own evolution as hominids until we began to express ourselves through painting. I am passionate about the mysticism and expressionism of cave paintings such as those of Chauvet or the Orantes painted by the first Neolithic people who occupied Alicante. Cinema and great science fiction stories are often present in my work. “2001”, “Dune”, “Interstellar” or “Blade Runner” influence my painting with their aesthetics and their vision of dystopian futures that make my imagination fly. With all these influences from the past and the future, I have been building my own universe of brands, symbols and characters that help me communicate stories that speak of the passage of time, that connect past worlds with our current life and with future derivatives. My painting today is a figurative abstraction where gesture, intuition, symbol and figure build the works, layer by layer. To the rhythm of rock, jazz or flamenco, which is always playing in my studio, all the parts come together. Little by little the different elements, initially unrelated to each other, create links. Many times the work is simplified in the final part, seeking an aesthetic and accentuating the elements that have connected well and tell us or suggest stories, thoughts or illusions."
