Francisco Nicolas

A concept used on my l work, is the idea of showing the picturewindow. I use figurative elements, particularly the landscape. Above those figurative elements, I superimpose “abstracts” geometric shapes; sometimes it is seen in thelandscape and simultaneosly in other spacial plane in front of the landscape, like if itwas in an inner space and through a window wecould see the outer space. That’svery close to Magritte’s art “Cuadros ventana”(“Windows-pictures”).
Other concept, is my interest for mix oposit conceptes, such figurative/abstract, clasical/contemporary, paint reality/ photography/reality.
I am painting since I was a children, and I had a good carer in Barcelone (Spain,) with a gallery that sold me all my work, living betwenn Barcelone and Paris, but I stoped to painting on 1997, because I had a cancer, and I was since this year to begine 2009 of the wold of the art, and I started again on 2009, and on 2011, I moved to London, where I have my studio, having diferents exhibitions and Art fair in this city. I started in Saatchi online around two weeks agoo.
