pintor en la corte
Vítor Mejuto


Opening on tuesday 3rd of april at 6 pm.
From the 3rd of april until the 25 th of may.



In my recent work I have tried to establish a bridge narrative between my painting and works by masters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The meticulous geometrization with which the great masterpieces are built was my starting point. The tenderness that springs from the awkwardness of the debutant led me to the Quattrocento, a moment in which painters so often faces a subject for the first time. It is about painting on a previous idea, about classic aspects of the history of painting.

When the new painting is built, the aroma of the master´s  work that animates it is always present, although you often have to make sacrifices. An unpublished work grows and demands its independance. This fight between the unusual and what already existed pretends to be humble recognition of the absolute contemporaneity and still validity of the great painting. These recent paintings claim to be less indebted to their brothers in the past.

I have painted partial aspects of the works. I have tried to be more succinct in my drawings, less descriptive and more essential. Enter and exit the painting to paint your memory. The evocative capacity.
