Los dones esenciales de Santiago Serrano

"The essential gifts of Santiago Serrano" shows us a return to the essential, with a slow rhythm, full of naturalness and serenity that Santiago Serrano offers us through controlled stains, glazes and geometry. The painting in this exhibition, with a mythological background, is as questioning as it is poetic, and transmits a sensation of mystery, emptiness and silence that "demands" another gaze that knows how to "listen" to the unheard of. It plays with space, and makes the work occupy its own space, taking over the visitor's gaze.

In his work there is a kind of complex simplicity that reveals a sensitivity that links with romanticism, but without theatricality or affectation. These surfaces, tensed in the strictest modern tradition, have, paradoxically, a remarkable density, in them the artist, fleeing from the anecdotal, both in the figurative narrative sense or in the melodramatic gestural projection, has allowed them to settle or manifest atmospheres
