He is young, spontaneous, very talented, and freedom flows through every inch of his being, but above all, of his work. Big color stains that overlap each other creating a glazed effect, random brush strokes that become abstract forms and color, a lot of color.

Talking to Óscar Hormigos (Madrid, 1973) could be considered as a journey to the future: art creation through Artificial Intelligence in real time, ‘crypto art’ sales through digital platforms, evolution of generative art… But nothing is further from the truth: the future is already here and it is presented within Contemporary Art with an infinite… Read more » Continue reading

Jaime Colsa (Cantabria, 1972) has been an art collector since he was a teenager and his hobby has not stopped.

Once again we bring together the directors of three Spanish art galleries to survey and talk about the current situation the art world is experiencing, after our return from these weird period of summer days (see ‘What about the galleries?
