Artwork location: Spain
This compelling artwork captures a powerful moment as water cascades over a man's face, merging deep introspection with the fluidity of nature. The hyper-realistic portrayal is heightened by the play of light and shadow, emphasizing water droplets that glisten and shimmer against the dark backdrop. Gold accents subtly grace the man's closed eyes and cheeks, adding an unexpected layer of elegance and depth. This integration of metallic hues contrasts with the monochromatic tones, creating an intriguing interplay between warmth and coolness. The artist masterfully conveys emotion through meticulous detail, drawing viewers into a serene, yet dynamic encounter. The piece stands out for its exquisite realism and the profound narrative of tranquility and reflection it embodies, making it an unforgettable visual experience.

Presentation
Jose Ladron de Guevara works in oil, charcoal, graphite and pastel. He is fascinated by trying to capture a fleeting moment in his paintings and to portray the essence of energy and movement.
Conceptually his work is about liberation as human beings through conscious acts, of becoming aware of our state. Through movement and the medium of soap and water my characters perform an act of internal cleansing.
Jose has exhibited his work widely throughout Spain and this is his first exhibition in London. He was born in Malaga in 1979 and lives and works in Spain.
He graduated in 2003 at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Granada, specializing in the fields of painting, drawing and photography.
