Paisaje Onírico (2024) Painting by Adrian González

Adrian González is a young Cuban artist, born in 1993, currently based in Madrid, Spain. From a young age, he was curious about color drawing and sculpture, using wooden pieces to create imaginative figures like ships and spaceships. His path led him to participate in art workshops and competitions, and it became inevitable to understand that his vocation was to dedicate himself to something related to this creative medium. His interest materialized when he entered the Professional School of Visual Arts in his home province and graduated in sculpture in 2012. He then ventured into sculpture, curating, and photography. Later, he extrapolated his knowledge of volume, space, and drawing to painting as his main artistic expression, developing techniques such as watercolor with themes of urban landscapes and portraits. He is currently exploring the geometric abstract and figurative style known as polygonal art, where he finds a fresh and unique approach.

From his attempt at introspection to experimentation, he has arrived at this renewed, colorful, and vibrant stage. This path of self-analysis is related to that special style that allows him to be fascinated and pleased by both landscapes and faces. His visual aesthetics are based on strong contrasts, and thanks to the careful handling of tones, the viewer can easily identify structures, shapes, features, and expressions, thus celebrating the beauty of what is usually considered mundane. A distinguishing detail is his intentional use of transparencies as a graphic resource, which allows the emotions of his figures to be perceived. This generates a palpable expressiveness that goes beyond a decorative purpose, creating a moving expressiveness.
