About the artist: 


José Adalberto Català is an artist based in Spain whose paintings have been exhibited nationally. Through his various works, he invites viewers to travel to an "idyllic and fantastic world". Català's distinctive fantastical realist compositions are often imbued with feelings of emptiness and loneliness. He creates mainly with tempera, oils and acrylics.

José Catalá Yuste, a self-taught painter from Madrid, began drawing from his childhood, first
with graphite, then watercolor and currently with oils. In his long career, he has made more than
fifty individual and collective exhibitions in Spain, Europe and Asia. with more than half
hundred awards, highlighting his three Medals of Honor from the BMW Award (Madrid) in
1995, 1997 and 1998 and the “Virgen de las Viñas” Acquisition Award (Tomelloso) in 2005, 2013, 2014,
2015, 2017 and 2018.

“Painting, and art in general; It is not an end, it is a means, the means that the soul has to
Express oneself. I think that any theme can become suggestive to be represented by
a pencil or brush. You only have to find the plastic message that exists in the
images that throughout our lives appear before our eyes, including
simpler and less imagined events” (J. Catalá, 2023).

“… he captures with equal passion everything that surrounds him, a face, a rural or urban landscape,
awakening in the viewer nostalgia, loneliness and a very special melancholy. … it keeps
placidly in that enormous charge of nostalgia that is felt above all when he paints,
emanated from a drawing that, with the rigor and faded gesture that characterizes its realistic invoice,
It affects a frequent presence of emptiness and loneliness. In the plastic trajectory of José Catalá
there is an almost existential drive for the ordering of space in time” (José Antonio Tinte,
from the magazine El punto de las artes). Source:
