PAPARTUS
Burgos, Spain. 1956
Biography
The strong and colorful expressive force of Papartus allows him, historically, to move between the abstract and a figurative form, always allowing him to identify his personal stamp. The series “Citizens” is a kind of capsule, being limited in number (20) and in time (2021), caustically parodying the diverse in the perplexity and dysfunction of contemporary man. Papartus has worked in different collections and museums such as the Pamplona City Council, the Caja Rural de Huesca, Caja de Segovia, Tomas y Valiente Art Center, Citibank Collection, and Prosegur among others.
Statement
Although the present and the future are unpredictable and difficult to master, the human being feels the need to fight against the chaos that the environment and the world organize.
I believe that the role of an artist is to seek to form alternatives to organizational logic, deconstructing the established order and rebuilding it again from within the freedom that creativity offers.
After exhibiting my works for 13 years, in 2006 I decided to focus on developing my creative process and therefore stopped exhibiting.
I think now is the right time to re-exhibit my work under my initial signature: PAPARTUS.
