ANTONIO BARCELÓ BALLESTER
Antonio Barceló Ballester is a painter who made the leap to fame more than four decades ago, with about thirty individual exhibitions held in different Spanish capitals and a wide variety of works made since he finished his training in fine arts.
The work of this Cartagena born in 1942 possesses the skill of the vocational painter and the undoubted creativity of the imaginative artist.
On this occasion, the artist offers a selective tour of his most recent works, focusing on a kind of revision of contemporary art.
If once were the abstract compositions around the water and the different chromatic motifs suggested and taken to the abstraction, now they are the iconic images painted by masters of all times, from Matisse to Picasso, Kandinsky or Klee, to Rembrant or Arcimboldo, which have induced this lover and connoisseur of the history of painting, to reinvent their own language from the image painted by others.
