A Little Piece of History
José Luis Campos, Spanish Plastic Artist. Born in 1948 in Galicia. Graduate of the Panamerican Institute of Art in 1974 (Buenos Aires-Argentina). Dedicated to painting from a very young age. However, it wasn’t until 2020 that he ventured into sculpture with the well-known Málaga sculptor Virgilio Rodríguez. He developed techniques and concepts with recyclable materials in most of his works, recreating an atmosphere that captivates through the concept developed, in a constant search to find the balance between what is real and what is imaginable. He tends to depict a peaceful line in his works with certain details.
In his painting, he pays great attention to a reduced palette to create a uniform work with few details. Lover of the pre-Columbian cultures of South America, particularly Peru, he has developed there some years ago a mixed Indigenist/Abstract technique that today has wide acceptance among collectors. His works have generally been acquired by collectors in several countries such as: USA, Belgium, Germany, 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 international solo and group exhibitions, in addition to honors diplomas, nominations, prizes, and recognitions, art books, press and television. For example the book “Stories of Painters” by the prominent Málaga writer Joaquín Palmerola, the Itaca art book edited in Soria Spain, contemporary art 2003 Seville Art Fair among others. José Luis Campos signs his paintings by hand on the front and back of the work, in addition to providing a certificate of authenticity to the buyer. It is almost a challenge to describe this multifaceted artist, as he prefers viewers to form their own conclusions about his work. For Campos, a work is a struggle between the artist and the canvas; you know where you begin, but never where you end."
