Juan Álvarez Cebrián
Man

1997

About the Item

In this painting, the artist captures the essence of a man who seems to emerge from the very land he cultivates. The portrait depicts a mountain man whose life has been shaped by working the fields and living in harmony with nature. His frontal stance and the staff in his hand symbolize an ancestral connection to his surroundings. His gaze, serene and noble, conveys a profound wisdom accumulated over years of experience. The weathered skin reflects the effort and dedication to the land, shaped by the harsh climate. The technique used in this painting is particularly noteworthy. The application of oil paint on a laminate of tack glued to the board, through successive glazes, requires a patient and meticulous process. Each layer of transparent paint contributes to the depth and richness of the portrait, creating a texture that evokes the complexity and character of the subject. This painstaking technique allows the viewer to appreciate details that an opaque application could not capture.
