Victor VASARELY (1906-1997). Folklore planétaire - 1985. Original collage of cut and colored papers on cardboard. Signed lower right. Signed, dated and titled on the back. 50 x 50 cm. Certificate from Monsieur Pierre Vasarely dated April 24, 2023. Note: In 1964, Vasarely came up with the concept of "permutational" art, "all the products of methodical combinations of simple elements whose variety is limited, made according to a rule of assembly that the artist gives himself a priori". His logic is close to that of computer science. Circles and squares cut from thick paper interlock or intersect. This technique is reminiscent of Matisse's papiers découpés. Color bursts forth in the "Folklore Planétaire" works. The plastic unit is "composed of two geometric elements that fit into each other, combine and interchange". With these bicolored units, in powerful or contrasting tones, the visual artist invents his Plastic Alphabet, which concretizes an idea dating back to the beginning of the century among abstract artists, that of identifying a method enabling the creation of a universal language understandable by all.

"VILLASIERRA" MARIO VILLARROEL (Venezuela, 1970). "Piccolo", 2023-2024. Mixed media (burlap, trompetin, oil and metal) on board. Frame made by the author. Signed and dated in the lower right area. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 50 x 60 x 10 cm. Villasierra is the archetypal case of a self-taught artist who explored other fields before devoting himself to art full time. A lawyer by training, he also ventured into the world of motorcycles, manufacturing and customizing them, which became a new field of work where he explored his creativity and fostered his interest in mechanisms beyond their primary function. His artistic production began in the 1990s and since then he has produced a considerable body of work. Some of it demonstrates his interest in recycling, in giving a second chance and function to discarded objects. With this idea in mind, she goes on excursions to antique markets and accumulates an unimaginable treasure trove. From this approach and his love for music, musical instruments found a place in his work. A good example is one of his most acclaimed series, The Second Life, which he developed mainly between 2016-2018. Among the instruments used in this series are violins. Villasierra explained that the first was inspired by a political act of resistance in his native country. In 2017, a young violinist, Wuilly Arteaga, confronted the Venezuelan army, alone with his violin, during a revolt. This act of bravery moved Villasierra, who took an old violin and painted it in the colors of the flag as a tribute to the musician's bravery and as a wake-up call to what was happening in his country. To create these works he visits the music departments of public art schools and takes the discarded violins in exchange for new ones that he buys and donates to the schools. Thus, the old ones become part of his work, while the new ones he replaces in the hands of the children.

ANTONIO DE FELIPE (Valencia, 1965). "Sara I". Acrylic on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 200 x 200 cm. Work in which we can see how the artist has reinterpreted in pop key, a photograph of Sara Montiel. This photograph was chosen as the cover for issue 308 of Careta magazine in 1960. A graduate in Fine Arts from the University of San Carlos Valencia, Antonio de Felipe began his career working as a creative artist in an advertising agency, a fact that would undoubtedly mark his future pictorial style. He is considered a Pop artist - or more specifically, part of the movement "Les noveaux Pop", together with other international artists linked to the Pop world - in the broadest sense of the word, developing his extensive work in different series (Logotypes, Cows, Cinemaspop, Popsport, among others) always maintaining a completely plastic and visual aesthetic, clear, addressing the common society. Fundamental is the colour, loud and provocative, as well as the subject matter, very simple and direct. His creative facet has led him to collaborate with Pedro Almodóvar in the film "Carne Trémula", as well as creating continuity bumpers for Telemadrid or designing tableware for the firm Santa Clara. He has collaborated on posters, album covers and in important publications such as ByN Dominical (ABC's Sunday magazine), El País, El Magazine del diario El Mundo, Marie Claire, ELLE, Qué leer, and Rolling Stone magazine, among others. In his more than twenty years of intense professional career, he has held more than ninety solo exhibitions, both in Spain and abroad, and as many group exhibitions. He is currently represented in the Reina Sofía Museum, the IVAM, the Sidney Besthoff Foundation in New Orleans, the Testimoni de La Caixa, Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza and Kneip Collections in Luxembourg and the Montblanc Cultural Foundation, among other public and private collections in Spain and abroad. In addition to this national and international presence, it has also participated in fairs such as ARCO, ART COLOGNE, ART PARIS, ART BRUSSELS, ST-ART Strasbourg and KIAF (Korea International Art Fair), which are benchmarks for the latest artistic trends.
