- I've always thought it a shame that a picture viewer is left only with the image of the final result.
- In the case of my painting, I seem sadder if possible, because, although it represented part of a reality or many realities together,
- there are changes and deletions will change while I paint the picture.
- The reality caught in photographic images helps me to create a world, not real but possible.
- Why settle only what we see and how we see it; in my paintings it is the only place where I can create a simple world.
- Only what matters most to me is.
- People I know, unknown endearing and surprising subjects portrayed in my paintings are the way to show the territory in which I live and defend.
Pablo Maeso. Illustrations for Sant Jordi.
The artist whose illustrations accompany this supplement is Pablo Maeso (Barcelona, 1964). Linked to the new Catalan realism movement, he participated in collective ‘Realism vanguard’ and ‘Realism in Catalonia’, and in recent years has exposed in Pares, Ammiano and El Quatre galleries, among others. In his work he aims to achieve an effect
“In touch with the daily says. I like to represent my characters when they are absorbed, thoughtful, stunned. The invented scenario is often, but using buildings or real landscapes. The starting point generates an idea, a phrase or painting itself. A series with a similar color or tone, a certain framings, diagonal or central compositions … I helped a lot of computer. From a concept and photographs I compose a fixed plane, like a frame; … an accurate drawing and painting with acrylic flat areas makes my work. ”
His work seeks the atmosphere, than the story and suggests a story. It is a painting, in the best sense of the word, literary, and so we felt it particularly suitable for this special Sant Jordi.
