Biography of the painter:

Patxi Saralegui (Bilbao, 1928 – 2002) was a Basque painter dedicated mainly to figurative painting, notably for his still lifes.

Throughout his career he developed a painting rooted in tradition, showing particular interest in everyday objects, fruits, flowers, ceramics and different elements arranged in careful interior compositions. His works are characterized by the study of light, volume and textures, as well as by a generally warm and harmonious palette.

He primarily worked in oil painting, with an expressive and visible brushstroke that added substance and depth to his compositions. His still lifes retain the influence of the Spanish traditional genre, though treated with a freer execution typical of mid- to late-20th-century figurative painting.

Saralegui found in the still life a medium particularly suited to exploring light and shadow contrasts and the chromatic richness of simple objects. His known production is mainly linked to private collections.
