JOSE ANTONIO PINEDA BUENO
Spanish
Bueno was born in Granada, Spain
in 1950. As a child, he had the tendency to play with a handful of colored
pencils. When he was just six years old, his family - seeing the unusual
interest young Jose Antonio displayed for drawing - decided to enroll
him at the Escuela de Artes in Motril, where they lived. This marked the
first stage in his never-ending path of color study.
His first steps in
the art works were as an illustrator. "Twenty-one long years lead me to
permanently abandon illustration for the search of landscapes charmed
by themagic Mediterranean dancing rocks, rough cliffs, and warm golden
beaches that I could transfer to a canvas."
Bueno takes woman and melds
her to her surroundings, turning her into a totality that is hard to remove.
One that is joined to the soil, the sea, the color and the light. The
simplicity of lines that governs his paintings turns them into something
intrinsically beautiful, and makes way to a new, energized perspective
of light.
