About the artist:

EMANUEL PANIAGUA

El secreto de los elementos
'Nací en una cultura estética hecha a mano, con siglos de maestría artística plasmada en tejidos, arcilla, piedra… La destilación de esta creación colectiv es nuestra tradición comunal, nuestro patrimonio. Su riqueza estética abunda alrededor de nosotros, nuestro tacto, en todo momento. Estoy siempre en busca del color. Deseo descubrirlo. Una búsqueda guiada por el instinto, que casi se convierte en invención, en una reconstrucción de nosotros mismos. Hundo las manos en la tierra en la que nací. Materiales, técnicas y temas… cuando entro en contacto con un material, busco su secreto, solicitándole la confesión íntima que me permita tocar su sabiduría. A menudo, este proceso lleva mucho tiempo en madurar, pero cuando sucede, en momentos raros y luminosos, celebramos nuestro encuentro juntos… y una buena pintura emerge."


The secret of the elements

"I was born into an aesthetic culture that has been crafted through centuries with artistic mastery in weavings, clay, stone. The distillation of this collective creation is our communal tradition -- our patrimony. I am always in search of color, I want to discover it. A discovery guided by instinct that becomes almost an invention, like recreating something of ourselves. I sink my hands into the earth from which I was born. Materials, techniques and themes... When I come into contact with a particular material, I search for its secret, soliciting its intimate confession, overjoyed when I touch its wisdom. Often, this encounter takes time to mature and when it happens, in rare and luminous moments, we celebrate our encounter together... and a good painting emerges."
