Antonio Alcón Vera bets on emotion as the essential element in his artwork. He gives himself over to his painting with passion, showing in every brushstroke what he longs to convey with it. Precision, expressiveness and a taste for detail are some of the most striking features of his pieces.
The chromatic combination Antonio Alcón Vera (Barcelona, 1938) works with and the mastery of his line when drawing make the visual presence of his compositions multiply. Self-portraits, women, rural landscapes and scenes of city life are the subjects that most often catch the eye of this Catalan artist who, on top of that, jumps continents to immerse himself in and explore the peculiarities of Japanese culture.
In any case, he creates artworks that savour the Impressionist essence of seeking out and underlining changing conditions, both atmospheric and of mood, which give artistic creation its ultimate meaning. His canvases thus start from a reality painted with precision that invites the viewer to look into the hidden value the details may conceal.
In this respect, colour is fundamental, since through it he manages to give shape both to those nuances that have more to do with subjective impressions and to those closer to a faithful representation of reality. Yellows, greens and blues shape compositions rich in detail and of a pleasing harmony. In short, these are pieces that produce a deep sense of wellbeing in the viewer and connect with them straight away.
Antonio Alcón Vera studied drawing and painting at the Escuela Da Vinci, as well as advanced courses at the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc and the Real Círculo Artístico de Barcelona. He has also exhibited his work in Barcelona, Huesca, Seville and, internationally, in Paris.
