Description from the seller
Oil on wood, and mounted on a wooden 3 cm stretcher. Dimensions 50 cm wide by 150 cm high.
Original work that represents absolute honesty, transparency, and the courage to show oneself as one is in a world full of appearances. The current Don Quixote does not fight windmills with armor, but against the rigidity of society with his own skin. It preserves the lance and hat, but adds tattoos and a modern aesthetic to connect the past with the present.
The work, done in oil on wood and mounted on a 3 cm wooden frame as well. Therefore it does not require a frame to be exhibited, although the option of framing would be another acceptable variant.
It is sent fully packaged for shipping safety.
Signed on the left side and lower part of the piece. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Juan Angel Vivas is a self-taught painter based in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. His artistic proposal stands out for a very personal figurative and expressive language, technically founded on mastery of oil painting on canvas, wood, and cardboard, where he explores the psychology of spaces and human emotions through a strong introspective charge.
Throughout his career, he has demonstrated notable persistence and an excellent reception in the art market.
Trajectory in galleries and local exhibitions. For five consecutive years he exhibited and sold his work monthly at Ghara Gallery in Alcalá de Henares, consolidating a constant pictorial production and a close link with local collecting. Monthly exhibitions with several works that changed monthly. This cycle not only solidified his expressive maturity, but also strengthened a strong cultural bond with the city of Complutum, turning each month into a date for collectors and art lovers.
He has been selected for two years for the prestigious Gredos Painting Prize, a contest characterized by the rigor of its selection committee chaired by the master of Spanish realism, Antonio López.
The evolution of his work did not go unnoticed by the local press. The magazine La Luna de Alcalá de Henares has dedicated various reports and special coverage to his figure.
