About the artist:
José Adalberto Català is a painter living in Spain, whose works have been exhibited nationwide. With his diverse works he invites the viewer to a journey into an “idyllic and fantastical world.” Català’s characteristic fantastical-realistic compositions are often permeated by feelings of emptiness and loneliness. He mainly creates with tempera, oil, and acrylic.
José Catalá Yuste, a self-taught painter from Madrid, began drawing in his childhood with graphite, then watercolor and currently oil. In his long career he has held more than fifty solo and group exhibitions in Spain, Europe, and Asia, with more than a hundred awards, notable among them the three honorary medals at the BMW Award (Madrid) in 1995, 1997, and 1998, and the “Virgen de las Viñas” acquisitions prize (Tomelloso) 2005, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018.
“Painting and Art in General; It is not a purpose, it is a means, the means the soul needs to express itself. I think that every subject can be a suggestive representation for a pencil or brush. You only have to find the plastic message that exists in the pictures that appear before our eyes throughout our entire life, including simpler and less imaginable events” (J. Catalá, 2023).
“…he captures with the same passion everything that surrounds him, a face, a rural or urban landscape, and it awakens in the viewer nostalgia, loneliness and a very particular melancholy. …it remains calm in this enormous nostalgia, which is felt especially while painting, arising from a drawing characterized by the strict and faded gesture that defines its realistic accounting. It concerns a frequent presence of emptiness and loneliness. In the plastic progression of José Catalá there is almost an existential urge to order space in time” (José Antonio Tinte, from the magazine El Punto de las Artes). Source:
