Biography

Francisco Bartus is a Spanish painter born in 1975 in Valencia. He was encouraged by his school teachers to study art and, after completing his education, he began his career as a professional designer and visual artist. In this first stage, he focused the subjects of his works on still lifes in which he applied modern language and techniques with enthusiasm accepted by galleries and the public.
Then, under the influence of Carl Jung’s ideas, he decided to move to a new genre to show in a plastic and brilliant expression how some of our deepest feelings are partly inherited and not shaped solely by our personal or individual experience. Bartus thus developed his own unique style to produce the impressive works of art that we present to you here, combining powerful painting techniques with an idea of the collective human underlying his more recent themes.
The use of mixed media creates a 3D dimension that makes his pieces so extraordinarily different. The layers of paint are impressive and add another dimension to the work; his pieces are innovative and unique, combining a variety of materials and techniques with new ideas to create exciting works.
Bartus has been widely exhibited in several galleries in the USA, mainly in Florida, California and New York, as well as in Europe, France, Spain and recently Germany and Switzerland.

The iconic, breathtaking images of Francisco Bartus gather crowds of colorful figures who, when viewed from afar, transform into notable three-dimensional representations of famous faces, landmarks, or classic tributes from pop art. His innovative use of a variety of materials and techniques, and the distinct application of texture contrast and layering, combine with his dynamic palette to create a 3D effect that gives each composition a spectacular impact.
Francisco grew up in a home full of art and music and studied Art History at the University. He immediately pursued a life in art, and his interest in multimedia work combined with his love for abstraction, hyperrealism, and above all, pointillism, led him down a completely original path. He describes the feeling of being 'hypnotized' by pointillist art and how artists like Seurat and Signac built forms and images so beautifully simply by painting dots on the canvas—order out of chaos and, in particular, the phenomenon of synchronized movement, like a school of neon fish swimming in flawless formation, or a murmuration of starlings swirling in the sky in a pattern that is always changing, yet always perfect.

Over the years, this fascination evolved into artworks that explore the nature of collectivity in an elegant and precise, yet visually stunning style. As a result, he has established a formidable reputation as a visionary and innovative artist, and his works are now highly sought after in galleries across Europe and the USA.
