ANTONIO LÓPEZ GARCÍA (Tomelloso, Ciudad Real, 1936). "Carmen recién nacida", 2012. Steel. Copy 1/10. Enclosed certificate of authenticity issued by the author. It has a wooden and methacrylate box with a small tear. Signed and numbered. Measures. 5,5 x 7,5 x 4,5 cm; 27 x 21 x 21 x 21 cm (box). This 2012 steel piece is based on the model created by Antonio López in 1999 in which he paid homage to his newborn granddaughter. Carmen, the little girl's name, became a constant in his work, as her face allowed him to sculpt the values of childhood, the softness of forms and innocence reflected in rounded, yet gentle and delicate features. This piece is closely related to the work known as "Night" or "Carmen asleep", which is paired with the sculpture "Day" or "Carmen awake", both located in Madrid's Atocha station. A painter and sculptor, Antonio López began his artistic training in his native land, where he took classes with the master painter Antonio López Torres. It was thanks to his artistic facility, his talent and the support of his uncle, which led him to begin his studies in Madrid, at the San Fernando Academy. In order to gain admission, he attended courses at the School of Arts and Crafts in the afternoons. This preparation helped him to gain admission to the academy at the age of 14. During his time as a student he made friends with other artists of his generation such as Enrique Gran, Amalia Avia and Lucio Muñoz, what has come to be known as the Madrid School. In 1955, after finishing his studies at the School of Fine Arts, he left for Italy, where he travelled thanks to a scholarship. After finishing his studies, in 1957, he made his individual debut in Madrid at the Ateneo, with an exhibition he had prepared in his native Tomelloso. A year later, thanks to a competition held by the Fundación Rodríguez Acosta, he travelled to Greece with a grant. After his return to Madrid in the 1960s, his presence in galleries was reiterated, thanks to the contacts generated through his exhibition at the Biosca Gallery. Antonio López's work generated great interest in different parts of Europe, the United States, China and Korea. In 1993 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated an anthological exhibition to him. His work is characterised by the use of a realist language, showing a great interest in portraiture, although it also includes subjects such as landscape. He is a member of the San Fernando Academy, and his awards include the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts and the Velázquez Prize for Plastic Arts. In 2008 the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston devoted a monographic exhibition to him, as will the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. He is represented at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Fundación Juan March and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, among others.

ANTONIO ROJAS (Tarifa, 1962). "Approach", 2019. Acrylic on canvas. Enclosed certificate at the buyer's request. Work reproduced in; "Punto de Mira, Antonio Rojas". Ed. Port Authority of Santander p.35. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 48,5 x 170 cm. Antonio rojas lives in Madrid, although his native land is very present in most of his works. This warm memory is united with an aesthetic of character, colder and more rigorous based on geometry, lines and planes. The coexistence of these two factors relates his work to the new "metaphysical painting". Among the devotions of Antonio Rojas are key names in painting such as Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Chema Cobo and Carlos Alcolea, artists who initially influenced him with their different attitudes. Also artists as essential as Giotto, Piero della Francesca or Fra Angelico as well as Cezànne and De Chirico. In the artist's own words, "I am interested in geometry insofar as it is useful to me for structuring and organising. ...For me the contours of empty, monochromatic surfaces are important, only altered by the stamping of a systematic sea... As for the composition of the images "I am not interested in the use of any particular rule to distribute and provide spaces..., intuition is for me the best formula". Attentive to the creation of empty spaces, places in shadow, "the nearby walls, furniture, windows... All these smooth surfaces, velvety with the reflection of the colours of distant objects, always full of air, shadow and light, are important to me". He had his first individual exhibition with Magda Bellotti in Algeciras (1983 and 1986), a gallery to which he was a regular during the subsequent development of his entire career. In Madrid he began to exhibit in the Fernando Vijandre gallery in 1987, in Manolo Montenegro's gallery (1988), with Antonio Machón (in 1990 until 2000) and with My name's Lolita Art (Valencia, 1996, and Madrid, 2002). In 1994 he was selected for the exhibition "Muelle de Levante". In 1991 he took part in the collective exhibition "El Retorno del Hijo Prodigo" at the Buades Gallery in Madrid and was awarded the Endesa Scholarship. He also obtained residencies at the Delfina Studios in London and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome between 1993-94 and in 2004 he won first prize at the VI Biennial of Painting "City of Estella Lizarra".

EVA MONTORO (Madrid, 1968). "Yo Frida", 2021. Waxed bronze with patinated loss. Signed and dated. Measurements: 63 x 43 x 36 cm. Frida Kahlo is considered an icon of Mexican culture and an international reference whose aura grows with time. In this case Eva Montoro pays homage to the Mexican artist with this bronze bust. On this occasion, her defiant gaze is framed by her bushy eyebrows joined by a single stroke. This is an element that she will always exhibit with pride, exaggerating the feature by painting her eyebrows and often with a mustache, elements that later feminism will claim as signs of strength of a character that does not bend to what is expected of a woman, both in outward appearance and behavior. Eva Montoro began her artistic education in 1984, studying at the School of Applied Arts and Artistic Trades in Madrid. In 1988 she entered the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid where she specialized in Graphic Design. Between 1991 and 1993 he continued his training at the School of Applied Arts and Artistic Crafts of Madrid where he took courses in Story Board and Scriptwriting, as well as Computer-Assisted Graphic Design. In 1995 he specialized in Sculpture, where he discovered his true vocation. In 1992 he made his first university exhibition in the hall of the faculty, in 1993 the second, in the same room and in the town hall of Ciudad Real. In the same year he began to work in the illustration studio Tango and Gandolfi, this one dedicated to illustrate books under license of Walt Disney. In 1994 he exhibited his work again, at the Lisboa Gallery in Madrid. In 1999 she entered a decisive competition for the beginning of her career as a sculptor, organized by the municipality of Leganés, Madrid. This contest gave her several contracts for public works.
