Clarinete     ALBERTO MORENO BALAGUER

       His artistic work is composed of multiple paintings, engravings, linocuts and etchings among many other techniques. They take on the form and the                     author's own language where the abstraction of natural forms and figurative art have a marked presence.

Jinete-de-olmeda-t120(1)     ÁLVARO DELGADO

       He was the first painter to meet and settle in the Olmeda, and without knowing it he would be in charge of opening the way for a series of painters and              intellectuals to follow in his footsteps and settle in the municipality. He has painted landscapes of Olmeda but perhaps what has most marked his painting         in the town have been the inhabitants of it.

EL POETA LLEGA AL SITIO DEL ÁRBOL Y DE LA FUENTE (1983)       EUGENIO FERNÁNDEZ GRANELL

       His pictorial work is full of very colorful symbolic and alchemical elements. Surrealism was for Granell his "personal religion" as well as his "vital attitude."         In this movement he considered humor as something fundamental, since it is an "escape valve from the anguish that human beings sometimes suffer"

FRANCISCO-SAN-JOSE-2(1)       FRANCISCO SAN JOSÉ

       With the personal discovery of the pictorial avant-gardes "It awoke in me a voracious desire to know everything or new and anti-canonical. I understood         that each time and place has its poetry and its painting. Geometry. Geometry is the permanent constant in all the arts, constants subtly kept many times,         especially in painting, due to concessions to the external form "

Castilla (1979)       JOAQUÍN BALSEIRO CORNEJO

       Without being a painter of origin, I ended up being attracted to the rest of the group of intellectuals with whom I had great closeness and influence. He             created his own aesthetic reality outside of all academicism and "has painted the skies of the Olmeda like no one else"

Interior en grises (1973)       JOSÉ FRAU

       His pictorial work starts from figurative premises and from a naturalistic and symbolic formation. He participated in the renewal process of Spanish                  painting in the 1920s and 1930s, evolving towards a post-impressionist style. He has been considered as one of the representatives of the equivalent of          "magical realism" in Spain.

       An outstanding muralist, he made the mural "The Freedom Route" at the UN headquarters in New York. Work conceived with the intention of                               condemning the Nazi holocaust and that ended up being a vindication of peace in the face of racism and violence. He has left as a legacy the unique                       painting of him that shows us his way of seeing the world.

Calle de Olmeda       ROBERTO SÁNCHEZ TERREROS

      His painting, in principle figurative and landscape, in a rather didactic and classical way, evolved even to a more creative and abstract stage, which                     combines different materials and creates atmospheres with a certain poetic sense. You can see both tremendously colorful stages, as well as other more        calm with ranges of colors that are almost monochromatic. He currently resides in Olmeda.
