The artwork of Eloy Vivas Barrera escapes any established parameter. The need that drives the artist to experiment and give shape to new expressive concerns is resolved in hugely creative work that moves everyone who sees it.
His creations have evolved towards expressionism and abstraction, letting themselves be carried along by those forms, colours and textures that allow him to develop a suggestive pictorial conception. The painter from Extremadura conspires with our imagination so that we reach places whose entrance is known only to wit and the senses.
That is why he pours high doses of mythology and futurism into his canvases. Building a space in which the classical and the historical meet modern, innovative elements. Even so, he also keeps figurative and impressionist brushstrokes with which he perpetuates the infinity of the landscapes of La Mancha and gives material form to the light's nuances in nature. Seeking the hypnotic atmospheres of William Turner in a finish full of fleeting contemporary strokes.
But there is also an inward gaze that evokes the dreams, the memories and the feelings awakened during the process of creation. In these compositions he distils the force of geometric abstraction, capturing a harmonic movement within striking, colourful structures.
The chromatic richness he uses in his canvases acts precisely as a unifying component, the one in charge of giving his artwork a personal stamp. A broad and heterogeneous output that comes as a result of the evolving development of his painting.
Eloy Vivas has a long artistic training behind him, and it shows in the exquisite handling of the different styles he works with. He has also spent more than ten years taking part in solo and group exhibitions both in Spain and abroad.
