Hands on
Exhibition info
In these times, when screens invade everything, this exhibition defends what is essential:
Here there are no algorithms or artificial intelligence, only materials, paint, effort and craft. A tribute to all those who work with their hands: cooks, bricklayers, cleaners, farmers, craftsmen, to them and to their tools, simple and powerful weapons, which are the soul of this exhibition. The trowel is the symbol of the concrete, of the manual, of what has been learnt by observing how the masters did it, of doing and repeating what has been done. Being creative is a quality, but it is necessary to make the work a reality, and that is something else. This exhibition wants to vindicate the beauty of the simple, the humble, the dignity of handmade work. Because art is not just magic, it is work.
Artist biography
Teresa Peña is passionate about art, she has painted since she was a child in a completely self-taught way, starting with still lifes, urban landscapes, and abstract compositions, evolving to the total abstraction of large format where the protagonist is the colour, achieving a particular style and a combination of characteristic colours, which has been very successful making multiple national and international exhibitions, sales to companies, private institutions and in auction rooms. His painting has been classified as fauvist. In 2019, after so many years of free and anarchic painting, he became interested in hyperrealist painting, beginning a period of strict training at the hands of the masters Jaime Valero and Kike Meana, using the techniques of hyperrealism, above all applied to portraiture, without abandoning his artistic personality forged over so many years, but incorporating techniques, treatments of the materials and pictorial perspectives used by these masters, which has given him more expressive freedom, especially in portraiture, and applied to abstraction, has managed to enrich his work and give it greater strength.
