The vibrant impressionistic paintings of Spanish artist Juan del Pozo transport viewers to the heart of Spain and its architecture. Following in the footsteps of his father, a landscape painter, del Pozo has carried on the family’s artistic tradition since first exhibiting his work in 1989.
Born in 1969, del Pozo studied his craft in Madrid where he was surrounded by the urban landscapes that frequent his canvas. Though oil paints remain his preferred medium, the versatile artist also works in watercolor, engraving and gouache to depict varied scenes from modern cityscapes to traditional portraits and still life.
Del Pozo’s recognizable style utilizes quick, tiny brushstrokes to build texture and movement. He leverages a bright pastel palette to infuse his impressions with energy and light. The combination breathes life into everyday subjects from Madrid’s architecture and winding alleyways to soaring coastal vistas. For del Pozo, art is a vibrant, living means of communication that must speak to the heart.
In addition to his prolific painting, the artist has completed architectural commissions across Spain where his keen eye for perspective and form shines through. He has also shown his work extensively throughout his native country and neighboring Portugal, garnering prestigious awards for his remarkable use of color and light. Today his vibrant paintings reside in private collections across Europe and the Americas.
From classic Spanish themes like flamenco dancers and bullfighters to contemporary cityscapes, del Pozo's artwork encapsulates the core of Spanish culture. His impressions, rendered in quick confident brushstrokes, brim with the passion and lifeblood of Spain. Whether depicting well-worn Madrid avenues or a lively gypsy celebration, del Pozo's canvases allow viewers to experience the vibrance and spirit of his homeland.
