Pedro Baos: what reality hides

Adriana Vega Adriana Vega | January 8, 2015 |
Pedro Baos: what reality hides

The painting of Pedro Baos has evolved towards figurative appearances that reveal the secrets reality keeps. A reality that human beings have always tried to capture through art and that the Catalan painter manages to bring out with thoughtful strokes, which don't simply show what can already be made out, but interpret it in order to expose what remains hidden.

His iconographic repertoire starts from simple, everyday subjects, most of them taken from interiors, into which he pours a great sensitivity, making genuine confessions of his aesthetic taste. He gives it substance by applying harmonious brushstrokes into which he introduces varnishes, oils and medium, achieving excellent effects of transparency. At the same time, by laying down soft coats of paint, he feeds power into his colour palette, based on bright, suggestive colours that lay bare the intimacy of the reality he depicts.

The final result is enveloping compositions loaded with captivating contrasts of light and glossy finishes that underline Pedro Baos' very personal style. That mark certainly brings to mind the objective realism of Antonio López, in that it gives his canvases a contemplative aura, untouched by the passing of time. That aura reaches the viewer, leaving them in a state of meditation and bringing to mind, through the forms expressed, what cannot be seen and has been captured through its essence.
