ABOUT THE WORK

Federico Aguilar Alcuaz, as an artist, brilliantly depicted the world from a unique viewpoint. His distinct approach to abstraction possesses a certain dynamic air, bringing to life his otherwise still subjects. His palette selection and delineation techniques evoke a familiar appeal, creating a style that is all his own. His ability to perceive the world through a complex prism of cultures resulted in oeuvres that speak to a spectrum of artistic and aesthetic sensibilities. The secret of Alcuaz's work is perhaps his hedonistic approach in life, nature, and the universe. This is evident in his work—how his refined and sophisticated style of seeing, feeling, and transforming onto canvas drives his art with minimal interruption from common factors. He also loved his materials and understood how to bring out their best qualities, as well as explore the mysteries of color and tone. (P.I.R.)
