Hágase tu voluntad XVII (Thy will be done) (2020) Schilderij door José Gislero

José Gislero is a Swiss painter who focuses on sensual, spiritual art. He lives and works between two islands: Switzerland, the island in the middle of the European Union and Cuba the communist island in the Caribbean Sea.

José is convinced of the power of art to unite and harmonize the opposites of our world. Both are interdependent, both are firmly connected and interact.

He paints to create peace and balance.

His series of paintings are often like short stories or painted prayers. His style oscillates between figurative and expressionistic. His works blend both the material and spiritual world. 

Although he has a degree in engineering and marketing, he has always been fascinated by art. His many long stays abroad awakened his special commitment and interest in third world issues. Peoples and cultures marginalized by 'civilization' and on the brink of extinction.
