"Ruff in Blue" Drawing

PACO VILA GUILLEN
I was born in Spain in 1965. My work is about abstract patterns and automatic drawing. All that nature offers has always attracted me. Looking very closely at the surface and the inside of plants, algae, fungi, rocks all kind of natural things, alive or not, brings us an infinite world of patterns, forms and shapes. An artistic mind can find all of those hidden clues and unveil them to create beautiful things that bring the viewer joy. I consider the artist a kind of translator of that unknown language that it is everywhere and in everything, making it accessible to the public. You can see my work in official and private collections all over Spain, and private collections worldwide.

Siempre me ha atraído lo que la naturaleza nos ofrece. Vistas de cerca las superficies de plantas, algas, hongos, líquenes y todo tipo de pequeños seres vivos nos provee de un infinito mundo de patrones, formas y colores. Creo que el artista es la persona que puede encontrar las pistas ocultas y desvelarlas para ofrecer compresión y belleza al espectador. Es decir, el artista sería el traductor de ese idioma oculto que está en todas partes".
