Artwork location: Spain

“I paint the human figure, delving deeper until I reach the beauty of being, the soul… the core of human beings where everything is balanced, harmonious and serene, where no noise exists." Painting has long been Montse Valdés' passion. It has taken her on an enquiring journey to the deepest depths of humanity, to find the essence of 'us'. As she says, to the core of human beings. The power of her work is its simplicity, the stripping back, cutting through 'the noise' to reach the soul that illuminates her canvases.

Thickly textured pastel oils, layered and dotted, converge to portray ethereal figures and serenely powerful portraits – peaceful and harmonious.

Having studied the technique of oil painting at several important academies in Barcelona (1981-84) and later at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris (1985-88), Valdés has since built a solid career in art. With a long list of solo and group shows behind her and works in important public and private collections, this internationally recognised Barcelona based artist has exhibited worldwide with Villa del Arte Galleries for over two decades. “After 38 years of a figurative trajectory, now what interests me is to surprise myself by experimenting with the materials and let art express itself through me."

This artwork presents an evocative close-up portrait, capturing the viewer's attention with its intense gaze and meticulous detail. The subject's eyes, rendered in a captivating shade of blue, establish a profound connection, drawing the observer into the depths of the human experience depicted. The fine texture of the skin showcases a masterful interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the subtle contours and soft expression. The lips, painted with gentle precision, add warmth and realism to the face. The artist employs a muted, earthy color palette, enhancing the naturalism and timeless quality of the piece. This portrait stands out for its ability to convey emotion and depth with simplicity, inviting reflection and introspection. The composition's balance and harmony make it a striking representation of human beauty and expression.

Presentation

The artist remembers drawing from an early age, after which she hesitated for a short period with the world of theater. It was at age 21 that she was being revealed that painting was the artistic medium through which she wanted to express herself.


Montse Valdés recreates herself (as she says) in an ideal world where the mind is peaceful and silent and where all voices are integrated in one melody. The person can then be free of thoughts, loving and creative. This is the world the artist wants to see and inhabit and through her paintings she tries to transmit a pacific world, where every human being is at Peace.
