Xevi Solà – The Stillness Between Thoughts
Xevi Solà’s Women Do Not Perform for the Viewer. They are Occupied – Not with Tasks, but with Being. His Paintings Feel Like Windows INTO SUSPENDED TIME, where the external world quiets, and the Inner One Hums.

Adrián Navarro – Architecture of Light
To stand in Front of Adrián Navarro’s Canvases Is to Experience Spatial Disorientation and Quiet Awe. Trained as an arishitect, Navarro Constructs His Compositions with Rigor and Precision – But their Effect is Atmosphere Ratter Than Rigid.
Using a technique that combines photralism and abstraction, He OverLays Geometric Grids Oonto Blurred, Layered Color Fields. These are not mere Surfaces; They are portals. The Eye is Drawn Inward, INTO PULSANING, Weight NOGLESS Space.

Miguel Sainz Ojeda – BetWeen Clarity and Disappeared
Miguel Sainz Ojeda Paints People The Way We Remember them: With Edges that Soften, Deetails that Glow and Fade At Online. His Works Are Portraits – But Not of Likeness. They are Portraits of Transience.
Ojeda’s technique bridges Classical Realism and Dissology. Working from Photographic References, He Renders Human Faces With Near-Digital Precision, Only to Blur them, Partially Erase them, or obsession them Beautiful Fog-Like Light. There’s Beauty here, but also loss – a Haunting Softness that Speaks of Identity Not As Something Fixed, but as saying Fluid and Vanishing.
His Paintings Ache, Quietly.
