Paco Guzman - El malabarista errante - No Reserve -

Oil painting on stretched canvas on a wooden frame measuring 70x50x2 cm. The painting is sent rolled in a waterproof cardboard tube and with an authenticity certificate. Professional packaging and insured shipping.

The work presents itself as a theatrical scene where gravity seems to have been repealed. In the background, a Cubist and angular architecture of houses rises in an ascending spiral, as if the very concept of "home" were undergoing metamorphosis or flight. The red and white tones of the roofs break the serenity of a blue sky that, paradoxically, suggests we inhabit a dimension beyond linear time.

Paco Guzmán is an eclectic artist with a long career behind him. He graduated from the Llotja School in Barcelona, in painting techniques and mural painting. He has works in private collections in the U.S., Taiwan, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Italy. He has participated in various gallery exhibitions and exhibited his work at different international art festivals. He also works as a professional caricaturist.

Paco Guzmán, born in 1970 in Ulldecona, Tarragona, is a Spanish graphic artist, painter, and caricaturist. From an early age, he showed remarkable drawing ability, creating caricatures of his teachers and classmates. Although he initially pursued comics, he soon leaned toward impressionist painting and caricature.

In 1992, he began his painting career self-taught, focusing on classical motifs such as still lifes. Subsequently, he took an art drawing correspondence course, balancing his studies with work in a furniture factory. His passion for art led him to devote himself fully to painting and caricature, making caricatures of friends and tourists, which allowed him to perfect his technique.

Between 1997 and 2002, he studied at Esardi School in Amposta, in collaboration with Llotja de Barcelona, specializing in painting techniques and mural painting. During this period, he left his job at the factory to focus on his artistic studies, supporting himself through occasional work and his street art.

Throughout his career, Guzmán has developed an eclectic style, combining contemporary painting with caricature. He published the book "901 Caricaturas", which collects more than a hundred caricatures of famous figures, created with various techniques such as acrylic on canvas, digital painting, oil on canvas, and graphite on paper.

He has also participated in exhibitions such as "Anatomia de les ànimes i visions caricaturesques" at the Espai Expositiu DeltArt in Deltebre, where he presented works created during lockdown, reflecting an evolution in his technique and creativity.

Paco Guzmán continues to explore new forms of artistic expression, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the field of painting and caricature in Spain.
