Experiences, memories and aesthetic emotions 201

Tambor del Llano begins a new experience with the presentation of exhibitions, not as a professional gallery but as a unique space that invites artists to exhibit their work. A cultural offer that enriches the experience of staying at our hotel and supports artists to disseminate and promote their production.

Painting, photography and collage

Paintings, photographs and collages. Expression of experiences and memories, aesthetic emotions and outdoor and indoor landscapes, nature or urban landscapes, which are often also mediatic: images and illustrations from the press, advertising, cinema, television, comics or street graffiti.

The aesthetic influences, and the techniques I use, are as diverse as my aesthetic tastes. Painters, illustrators or audiovisual creators since Altamira... Goya, Picasso, Juan Gris, Robert Rauschenberg - and his abstract expressionism to reread classical art, science, social novelties, the polis and life -, Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Shepard Fairey, Steve Powers, Elisabeth Peyton, or the collages of the Chilean Mauricio Garrido...almost all of them iconoclastic, non-academic and groundbreaking aesthetics and concepts from which I copy techniques and appropriate images and spirit. At least I try to.
