A Bit of History
José Luis Campos, Spanish Plastic Artist. Born in 1948 in Galicia. Graduate of the Pan American Institute of Art in 1974 (Buenos Aires-Argentina). Dedicated to painting from a very young age. However, only in 2020 did he begin exploring sculpture under the guidance of the renowned Malaga sculptor Virgilio Rodríguez. He developed techniques and concepts using recyclable materials in most of his works, recreating an atmosphere that captivates with the concept he develops, in a constant search to find the balance between the real and the imaginable. He tends to depict in his works a peaceful line with certain details.
In his paintings, he pays great attention to a reduced palette to render a uniform work with few details. A lover of pre-Columbian South American cultures, particularly Peru, he developed there several years ago a mixed Indigenous/Abstract technique that today enjoys wide acceptance among collectors. His works have generally been acquired by collectors in several countries such as: USA, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Portugal, Italy, Slovakia, Finland, Switzerland, Japan, Greece, Ireland, Austria, France, Canada, Spain, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, England, China. He also has more than 25 solo and group exhibitions internationally, in addition to honorary diplomas, nominations, awards and recognitions, art books, press and television. For example, the book “Historias de Pintores” by the renowned Malaga-born writer Joaquín Palmerola, the Itaca art book published in Soria Spain, contemporary art 2003 Sevilla Art Fair among others. José Luis Campos signs his paintings by hand on the front and back of the work, in addition to delivering a certificate of authenticity to the buyer. It is almost a challenge to describe this multifaceted artist, as he prefers viewers form their own conclusions about his work. For Campos, a painting is a struggle between the artist and the canvas; you know where it begins, but you never know where it ends."
