Terraza de lucio

With these words Antonio López summarizes his particular way of approaching the object to be painted. His paintings are developed over several years, sometimes decades, with a slow, thoughtful plasmación, with each stroke distilling the essence of the object or landscape, until the artist manages to capture its essence on canvas.

The painter seeks between reality that surrounds him everyday aspects, which he collected with a full treatment of detail, near the photographic. Your preferences ranging from Madrid to view the portraits of his family, to the most mundane and near objects.

Throughout most of his career, Antonio López has developed an independent work, amidst an artistic panorama structured around the informality and abstraction. Nor does it seem easy to link the work of Lopez with the latest European realistic tendencies or the American hyperrealism.
