the artist
Salvador Aulestia "artist" is truly impressive for the expressive power found in his works, in which sign and colour act with incredible intensity, leaving us sometimes admiring, sometimes amazed, never indifferent. It is impossible to remain impassive in front of one of his works. In each case he captures us hypnotically, with the symbolic and compositional force of his images. Once you get to know him, you can easily recognise his work because of its unique style and personality, which pervades every work he creates, be it painting, sculpture, drawings, writings, music and large-scale projects

The Spanish master's figures winkingly, sometimes even amusedly, suggest sensuality, communicating their explosive femininity to the observer through a wide range of unexpected poses and gestures. The many women painted by Aulestia seem to be aware that they are involved in the game of portraiture, aware of being spied on by the artist's eye and then geometrically deconstructed by his brush. Whether single figures or double portraits of women, the brilliant Catalan has produced some interesting pictorial snapshots in which the woman's body is the protagonist, conceived as a sculpture in the round and painted according to the canons of a personal reinterpretation of Cubist decomposition, as in the work "Via libera al desiderio" (''Free way to desire'').
