About the Item
This representation of Aphrodite of Cnido, an iconic figure of mythology and ancient art, undertakes a search for a new personality. Through a careful treatment of color and texture, I alter the limits of classical representation to offer a more personal vision, without losing the original essence of the goddess of love and beauty.
The use of a wide chromatic range and the incorporation of diverse textures give the work an extraordinary depth and visual richness. Aphrodite's head is presented in profile, framed by a background treated in blue tones that, although close to gray, give off a warm atmosphere. The ochre and sienna tones that insinuate themselves into the background enhance this sensation of warmth, creating a captivating contrast. The hair of the female figure blends into the background, suggesting a subtle disintegration in time, a reminder of the transience of beauty and life itself.

In 1986, he joined the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where he spent several years drawing and painting figures from life. In 1989, he became a copyist of Art Works at the National Prado Museum in Madrid, a role he continued for several more years. He took painting courses with Daniel Quintero and Eduardo Úrculo, and engraving courses at the National Mint of Madrid with José Hernández, Daniel Gil, Paco Mora, and Luis Cabrera. He has held solo and group exhibitions in various national and international galleries.

His most recent selections include Daimiel and Virgen de las Viñas 2022, Laura Otero (finalist), and Valdepeñas 2023.
