Contemporary Spanish Art

by Carlos M. Smith


Spain has always been a reference in the art world. Great artists such as Picasso, Dalí, Tàpies or Miquel Barceló have provided the necessary contemporaneity that has been perfectly combined with tradition and classicism which are always maintained and are part of its social feeling.

This article presents or highlights the artistic career of a small group of Spanish authors who symbolize that contemporaneity.

We wanted to highlight unique artists whose work and vision of it is widely recognized as a reference of a special style and form, thus marking a before and after in the artistic exchange of which we echo.



Arroyo Ceballos (Córdoba)

Arroyo Ceballos has a artistic career supported by more than 150 exhibitions, works in more than 30 museums and institutions in 11 countries and numerous awards.

Homages received in the USA (Latino Art Museum of California), in Mexico in the Historical Archive of Sinaloa (with the delivery of an award by the Governor of Sinaloa), in Portugal in the Municipal Chamber of Oliveira do Bairro, with the Cultural Association "Aires de Córdoba" or received in 2013 in his hometown at the Hon. Diputación de Córdoba together with a large exhibition for his 25th Anniversary, etc.

In April 2013 a museum with his name was opened in Fuente Palmera (Córdoba). On March 12, 2014, he was selected for the commemorative act of the Spain-Japan dual year held in Córdoba, to deliver a work of his authorship to the Japanese Ambassador to Spain, Mr. Satoru Satoh.

In March 2015, at a meeting held in Paris, he was appointed member of the International Association of Art Critics AICA for his years of work as a member of the Spanish Association of Art Critics AECA.


In November 2016, he was awarded by the MAI Colombia (International Artistic Movement Colombia) an international recognition for his cultural and artistic management.

In December 2017 he was appointed an Honorary Member by the Board of Directors of the Fundación Arte Sin Fronteras por la Paz (Colombia) and in 2019 by the World Organization of Integrated Artists OMAI (Mexico).
Author of more than ten books on art and poetry.
In January 2018 he founded the Cordovan group “Córdoba Contemporánea”.

In September 2021 he obtained the I International Prize for Literary Creation "Antonio Segovia Lobillo", organized by the Canarian Foundation "Antonio Segovia Lobillo" (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) and the City Council of Moclinejo (Málaga).

 



FINCIAS (Madrid)

 

In his work FINCIAS pursues the desire to connect with the viewer, through a lyrical and emotional interpretation of his surroundings. Materializing the essence of the human in each of his works. All this results in a transcendent painting, endowed with an internal hubris that seeks to go beyond the mark by detaching itself from its borders and a color that acquires an enigmatic symbolic value. You just have to stop and look carefully at each of its pieces, to detect that there is a great emotional involvement.

Multidisciplinary artist, painter, illustrator, animator and designer for Advertising Agencies or Editorials. He has exhibited in numerous Art Galleries in Spain and abroad in cities such as: Paris, New York, Miami, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Rome, Brussels, Milan, Monaco, Lisbon, Porto, Osaka_Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Hamburg Edinburgh, Luxembourg, Montpellier, Lille, Strasbourg, Vienna, Stuttgart, Padova, Shanghai ...



His work has been acquired in public and private institutions in Spain, abroad and recently by the Museum of Contemporary Art of SHANGAI, China.

Eva Raboso (Valencia)

 

She is a Valencian artist, although She has been living in Madrid for fifteen years. She was born in 1976 and, since then, her vital engine has been curiosity.

Being self-taught, She has always been interested in creation: telling stories, surprising, investigating, dreaming and communicating.

In the last years, She has dedicated herself to experiment, and from there, URBAN VERTICAL, a new way of observing a painting. With this project She has achieved a 3D effect that is perceived through any optics, viewfinder or lens of any camera or mobile device.

She is also investigating in spaces, color and volumes and why not? with sculptures in metal, IRON / SCULPTURE, urban and moving.



She has  participated in numerous projects and exhibitions at a national and international level such as "The Venice Biennial 2015/2017" within the project "The Fall of the Rebel Angels" and the "Empire II" curated by Vanya Balogh. Recently I have won the prize “Premio Diputación Provincial de pintura Ciudad Real 2018. XXII  certamen internacional de pintura de Alcazar de san Juan.”, and exhibitions in Paris, Berlín, Madrid, Croatia, Córdoba, Sevilla, etc.

ART-TECHNOLOGY- Urban Vertical is a new artistic trend that combines a painted canvas and a camera. When creating elements with a different axis and observing them through a single eye, camera and / or mobile device, the observer is able to perceive the picture in 3D; so playing with the camera, the cars are recreated and it seems that you can get into the picture, move through its streets, turn in the corners and enter the tunnels. It is a way to be part of the picture, to observe it from within and know its interior. Everything happens to have a new dimension that is only perceived through the camera.

600 Art Works One Artistic Installation Arroyo Ceballos

Francisco Arroyo Ceballos, Spanish painter

600 Art Works, One Artistic Installation

The spanish artist Arroyo Ceballos is presenting a big project that will travel around some countries

The first exhibition will be in his city (Córdoba, Spain) and it will take place in the Ethnobotany Museum.

We hope that this project will be exhibited in Miami in 2022.

He is backed by more than 140 exhibitions in 21 countries, his work having been displayed in 30 museums and institutions of 11 nations, as well as several tributes and awards.

Paintings from Francisco Arroyo Ceballos

He last exhibited his work in our city at the Museum of the Americas in a collective exhibition, being the only Spanish artist chosen to do so.

[13:33, 2/2/2021] César Rincón: Since the early days of his career, Arroyo Ceballos has always borne in mind the importance of having a personal brand. He has always experimented and tried different materials with a singular and personal approach. 

First, he was fond of drawing and all of the variations of realism, but then he realized he was not on the right track, so he started to wander around the material universe. It is the innovator who must create his own line of work from forms and volumes, from different materials that give life to the concept that the artist itself wishes to show or identify in every piece.

He rejected being trained, being a proud self-taught artist. He even refused reading art or technique books in order to preserve his work unbiased. All the things mentioned …

[13:33, 2/2/2021] César Rincón: Both his pictorial and sculptural work are based on the compendium that is represented in the embodiment of his extraordinary mixed technique of oil painting in wood. Of course, everything focuses on the abstract, symbolic and even minimalist style that the artist prefers, even if he only approaches other works that belong to this style eventually.

Exposition

Arroyo outlines:  

“The plenitude of space and the meaning of forms reach their peak in the mind of the creator. If we add the firm obsession with realising “the work”, which everybody dreams of and few can really reach, we could say at least that we face a work based in the concept and that gathers formal figurative-symbolic elements. These are the elements that along with a solid technique and the different tonalities that shape his work.  Its key is simplicity; the soft transmission of a whole inside pureness, which consists in some basic lines and the use of a singular mixed technique that provides the wished relief and texture. An essential inclination to everything that minimalism consists of, considering the widest sense and meaning of the word”.

Aferrados al arte para superar la pandemia


Reconocimientos a la gestión cultural por parte de la secretaria de cultura

En estos tiempos se habla en forma reiterada de resiliencia, de reinventarse, estas palabras son tendencia en todas partes, el primer término es la capacidad de surgir a pesar de las calamidades, de las adversidades, mientras que la segunda es buscar alternativas, generar ideas creativas, en todo caso las dos invitan a levantarse, a proseguir en la lucha, a tomar el timón y seguir el viaje, sin mirar atrás.  Precisamente el arte dice presente a estos retos, se asumen riesgos para cumplir con nuestro compromiso con el arte, es algo que surge de las entrañas,  esa pasión que siempre nos embarga.
