There is a light that never goes out
Evolution is a premise that is intrinsically linked to human nature, and as such, Cesc Abad‘s artistic evolution is an inevitable premise. His relationship with nature has characterized his essence as an artist. Especially by the relationship of man with nature and his actions and behavior towards it, which are changing the environment so much. His previous paintings were full of forests, animals, and human stories. In them, passions, war, faith, envy, love, and sex were reflected. A direct relationship was established between the human and animal species. Now, Cesc Abad delights us with a new series where the forms have been refined and the human presence is now the protagonist.
This purification of forms leads to the creation of characters, both female and male, who become the protagonists of his works. We can see everyday actions with a subtly ironic and conceptual background. Their physical attributes are a clear inheritance of his previous work since there are parts of their bodies that are trunks or branches, or their eyes can be small brightly colored birds. It is worth pointing out the importance of lights and shadows. They function as accessories to the protagonist figures that, like the night and day cycle, constantly remind us of the delicate harmony that exists in the natural world.
Nature is still present in his work as the object that has been disarticulated from its environment and now is the protected object of the human being. Human beings shaping their stories by decorating them and, sometimes, judging them. Indeed, through the work of Cesc Abad, we transcend the confines of our daily existence and enter a realm of infinite possibilities. In each brushstroke, Cesc reveals our ability to illuminate the world and find truth in the midst of darkness. In this way, light and shadow, the cave and humanity, nature and characters, intertwine in an artistic symphony that reflects our quest for meaning.
