Paco Guzmán - todo vuelve a empezar - No Reserve

Oil painting on canvas measuring 80x65 cm, with 5 cm of excess on the sides to be able to stretch it without trouble. The work comes with a certificate of authenticity. For safety, the piece is shipped inside a waterproof tube.

The composition presents a complex structure of gears and mechanical cog wheels arranged at different depths. In the center of the piece dominates a large industrial wheel that houses a realistic, unsettling human eye at its central axis. In the lower hollow of this same gear there is a human figure dressed in a suit seated, an evident play of scales that evokes themes such as social control, the passage of time, industrial alienation, or the role of the individual within contemporary machinery. The scene is traversed by vertical bands and glazes in blue gradients, combined with a vivid palette of oxidized tones, oranges, purples and pinks with great chromatic richness and texturing. A piece with strong narrative force, ideal for collectors of figurative and surrealist art with a powerful visual impact.

Paco Guzmán, born in 1970 in Ulldecona, Tarragona, is a Spanish graphic artist, painter and caricaturist. From an early age, he showed notable drawing ability, creating caricatures of his teachers and classmates. Although he was initially interested in 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 completed an art drawing course via correspondence, balancing 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 refine his technique.

Between 1997 and 2002, he studied at Esardi School of Amposta, in collaboration with Llotja de Barcelona, specializing in painting techniques and mural painting. During this period, he left his factory job to focus on his artistic studies, supporting himself with occasional work and 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 people, created with various techniques such as acrylic on canvas, digital painting, oil on canvas and graphite on paper.

He has also participated in expositions such as "Anatomia de les ànimes i visions caricaturesques" at the Espai Expositiu DeltArt in Deltebre, where he presented works created during confinement, 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 painting and caricature in Spain.
