Esteve Prat Paz

ESTEVE PRAT PAZ “E. Prat Paz”, was born in Castellar del Vallès in 1959. As a child he received drawing and painting classes from two painters from his hometown, Valls Areny and Gubern until his growing love of art led him to undertake university studies in the Fine Arts degree at the University of Barcelona, obtaining a Bachelor's degree with a degree in painting in 1983; University that returned years later to study DEA and later for a Doctorate that ended with the qualification of Excellent (cum laude) http://hdl.handle.net/2445/68319
After completing his degree, he alternated Drawing classes in High School where he obtained a Chair in Drawing and later in Artistic Baccalaureate, with another facet, that of a painter and also with the exhibition facet that began in his youth, at the end of the decade of the 70's.
He has a long professional career. He has worked in series and has painted different artistic genres, "still life’s, landscape, portrait, abstraction and figure. He has worked in small, medium and large format. He has experimented with different techniques of plastic graphic expression, oil painting, acrylic painting, "gold leaf" infographics, mixed techniques, aerosols, etc. on different supports, canvas, wood, cardboard, paper etc.
His exploration of landscape, portraiture or abstraction is based on balanced compositions, but with a spontaneous sensation, on a marked trace that leaves the artist's stroke latent in different textures and unfinished intentions. The search for the harmony of the elements is entertained by the intervened void of dense color, playing with the rhythms of the volumes so that the result exudes freshness. The ranges are different, there is no global unifying range for all his work, but each one has a unique approach and challenge basically in terms of the treatment of color and composition. The final search is the overall quality of the work.
His projects compile a heterogeneous style and a constant search for motifs that have forged the eclecticism of his artistic personality. Whether he moves in the figurative terrain or that of abstraction, in the landscape or in the figure, his works seeks subtlety and sensitivity; uses a rich color palette with colors ranging from vibrant hues to the most delicate. She has always followed the pictorial principle of painting, which has motivated her. He remains fascinated by the search for a new topic, and then translates it into the work.
He has held different painting exhibitions, and has obtained several awards for his work that is in various private collections in different countries such as Spain, France, Argentina and the USA, and in estates such as Banco Sabadell Art Fund, Agaete Museum (Gran Canaria), Castellar del Vallès City Council Art Fund.
His latest series have as a central theme the human figure treated with various plastic and compositional treatments.
