Quintana Martelo

LUISA PITA GALERÍA DE ARTE

Quintana Martelo first idea generally comes to him through a visual impact; it can be said that the object, light and its value as content are his first lines of work. He begins with a purely geometric development, where he looks for spatial lines that invade and dominate the field of work. He always thinks of the value of the plane; he understands it as the two-dimensional working surface. The object, based on form and light, will have its place within the plane, a play of background and surface.
Quintana Martelo draws a lot, and studies different paths that a work can take, which is in decision until the final moment. It is very easy for the process to go through different states and parallel works, drawings, watercolour, collage…; a way of understanding and adopting a decision that resolves his doubts
