Breve presentación/Short presentation
Born in Valencia and currently a Murcian painter. Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Murcia.
I have always had concerns and curiosity about art, carrying it in my veins since I was born, a fact that was encouraged by my father, Juan Gallego, a painter with a long career behind him, for whom I decorated more than one painting.
Initially as a form of recreation, as the years went by I found in it a way of disconnection and expression, increasingly perfecting what I was working on at that time, the pencil.
The move to the city of Murcia strengthened that relationship with painting, to such an extent that at 17, after winning a contest, I saw in it my complete vocation and began a career in Fine Arts.
Learning new techniques and perfecting others, I discovered my love for everyday scenes and their hidden beauty. Places, actions that we carry out continuously and go unnoticed, and that I come to resignify them and give them a new place.
Currently my speech is constantly changing, working the light of impressionism with the contrast and mystery of the baroque.
One factor that never changes in my paintings, series, and interventions is the search for viewer interaction. In my opinion, the cold image of museums, the cult of the work of art, deifying it, is not the best way to transmit messages or generate a memory. I work on that idea by making participation in my paintings available to everyone, either mentally or physically on several occasions.
My works are not complete until the spectator finishes them.
***
This way of perceiving art began at the beginning of my degree, there I became familiar with acrylic and its speed.
I almost took that agility it offered me as a challenge and over the years it has evolved from hyper realism to a loose brush realism, brushstrokes that generate the image with movement.
Working on this technique, I got to know watercolor at 20 and due to events I returned at the age of 5 when I began to learn it.
Without a doubt, I can affirm that it is the most complicated I have worked on, and the most satisfying. If with acrylic you narrate stories, with watercolor you turn them into poetry.
The freshness, light and agility that it requires make it unique and difficult to tame, since the water is unpredictable. At 22, I can say that I have managed to understand that magic and enjoy its indomitable character. As you can see,
I also have numerous commissioned works, a possibility that you can also count on if you have a specific idea (contact me for conditions)
I invite you to visit each of my pieces and I even leave the door open to contact and expression of your opinion, welcome to my corner.
