AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

VMP is a Spanish visual artist, Doctor of Art and Research, whose practice combines contemporary figurative painting with experimentation in cinema and animation. Numerous awards and selections attest to a consolidated and recognized artistic career.

This original piece of 140 x 95 cm, created in 2026, is a figurative study in which an internal system of codes is built, but they are not used to symbolize psychic states, stories, or messages. They are laws of pictorial functioning, not keys to allegorical reading. The painting is not organized to “say something” beyond itself, but to show how a figure is supported, how color closes a space, how gesture is recorded on the surface. The codes it configures (repetition of motifs, certain light, a certain rigidity of composition, type of gaze) are rules of visual play, not keys to emotional or narrative interpretation.

It is proposed that the viewer confronts the painting as an object with its own internal laws, instead of looking for in it a confession, a trauma, or a personal story. It is not denied that the viewer may read metaphors, but it is rejected that this practice be permeated by the obligation to produce them. The interest lies not in encoding a hidden world, but in explicitly organizing the visible world.

This painting is oil on good linen, 140 x 94 cm. All materials used are of the highest quality. The shipment is made only with the canvas rolled, protected with bubble wrap and cardboard or a rigid support, guaranteeing its proper conservation during transport.

His work can be seen on the Instagram profile @molina.pardo, where he develops a broad practice that includes painting, animation, and 3D printing, with processes of long duration. Simultaneously, he has created the profile @vmp_justicia_pictorica, focused exclusively on painting, with access currently reserved for collectors and participants on Catawiki.
