Barcelona 1940
- My Barcelona is the Eixample.
- The street of Barcelona is not the Ramblas, it is the Paseo de Gracia.
- I was a gray painter, because Barcelona is a gray city, until I went to Havana.
- It fascinated me, yes, when I discovered it.
Throughout his pictorial life, Vives Fierro seems to have followed a trajectory of the chromatic vitality infrequent in the artists, who usually end up installed in a style turned into synthesis or styling of themselves. I think of Matisse, suppose. But over the years Vives Fierro catapults this joyful expression of the tones and the trace that I have been recording, as if the basic rules of composition cease to exist to allow the boiling of colors as the principle and goal of the canvas.
