Artist Biography: Víctor López de la Fuente (Spain, 1975) is a painter and sculptor who presents us with a dreamlike world of vibrant colours, endearing characters and impossible stories. With a figuration very close to illustration and elements borrowed from the surrealists, López presents us with paintings, reliefs and sculptures full of criticism and irony. He has spent a large part of his career in the world of comics, where he has won numerous awards, and, thanks to his attractive compositions and magnetic fables, he has been taking his magic all over Spain since 1997, as well as to Portugal, Taiwan and Mexico.

 

Víctor López de la Fuente (Madrid, 1975) presents us with a dreamlike world of vibrant tones, endearing characters and impossible stories. With a figuration very close to illustration and elements borrowed from the surrealists, López presents us with paintings, reliefs and sculptures full of criticism and irony. An eye observes the cosmos through a keyhole, a magician plays with the galaxy like a juggler, a man lives inside a gigantic crown, light travels through the universe, refracts in love and forms a rainbow, the stories we listen to nourish our brain from which trees emerge with letters and ideas that take flight... Symbols and allegories overflow the artist's works, whose delicate atmospheres and intense lighting contribute to build a fantastic space where everything is possible. A scenario taken from a fairy tale, from a dream. The works of Victor Lopez are a journey into the subconscious and the hidden places of the human mind, full of a logic that, although far from that of the real world, does not seem to the viewer as something completely alien and incomprehensible. Perhaps that is why it is not surprising to discover that he has a degree in psychology, a profession he still practices today and combines with his artistic practice. Nor should it surprise us that this affinity and sensitivity for art have flourished at the same time as such a demanding career, since López is also the son of an artist. He has spent much of his career in the world of comics, where he has won numerous awards, and, for his attractive compositions and magnetic fables, he has been taking his magic all over Spain since 1997, as well as to Portugal, Taiwan and Mexico.
