Álvaro de la Vega
(Paradela, Lugo, 1954) studied fine arts in Barcelona, and the style of painting that he learned during this training phase is his usual means of expression. Back in Galicia, he has begun to explore sculptural language, using human and animal figures as his point of departure. The use of paint as a way of boosting the sculpture’s expressive value will be a very characteristic element of these first wooden pieces. As the artist starts to consolidate his sculptural language, he has also begun to experiment with other materials including iron, ceramics and stone, all of which are tied to nature and traditional professions. The space-work-spectator interrelation will form the core concept of his artistic discourse. His work is exhibited in important galleries and institutions, and his pieces also form part of highly-renowned private and public collections.
