BERTA JAYO (Santander, 1971). "Purple canvas with holes", 2003. Mixed media on canvas. Presents label of the gallery Siboney (Santander). Measurements: 195 x 195 cm. In this large format work, the artist perforates the support, introducing in the work a vacuum that allows the viewer to see behind these holes. Thus rethinking a two-dimensional object through space, giving it elements of sculpture, such as the interaction of the object with the contextual space in an active way. These large moles, are a resource widely used in the work of Berta Jayo, who through her performances, or series such as "Portraits and clothes", presents to the viewer this pattern so associated with Spain, but from a contemporary point of view that reflects on identity and tradition. Berta Jayo is a multidisciplinary artist who began her studies in Fine Arts at the University of Bilbao, where she graduated with honors. She later pursued postgraduate and master's studies in Fine Arts at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. She has participated in numerous programs such as ISCP (International studio and Curational Program) New York. As described on her website she is a non-conformist, critical and talented creator in continuous evolution whose clearest language is conceptual art developed in a wide variety of media. Her clear and concise ideas encourage reflection, which also disturbs and provokes our intellect. His original projects, charged with power, awaken our anesthetized and banal existence to offer us his visions of life far from stereotypes. His work has been exhibited in many countries and has been shown at International Art Fairs such as ARCO Madrid, SWAB Barcelona, FRIEZE London, PULSE New York, Art BASEL Switzerland, 57th Venice Biennale, Documenta 14 Kassel Germany, in International Festivals like Video Screen Festival in Berlin or New Media Festival HACS Miami, in public spaces or Museums like MAM RD, MAS, The Chill Concept Museum Miami, CAC Malaga, CAM Naples, Bronx Museum NYC, Reina Sofia, Tate Modern, Guggenheim Bilbao, MoMA, Louvre Paris. Other relevant exhibitions are: 'Exquisite Doll Kit' Mexico itinerant, 'Artistas del siglo XX y XXI', itinerant, Sala Robayera, 'Ellas' Madrid, itinerant, Void + Tokyo, Japan. Presents label of the Siboney Gallery (Santander).

RAMÓN PARADA JUSTEL (Esgos, Orense, 1871-1902). "Scene of the Comedy with Virgil and Dante", 1996. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the upper right corner. Measurements: 32 x 40 cm; 50 x 59 cm (frame). Ramón Parada Justel is formed in the School of San Fernando of Madrid, where the imprint of Carlos de Haes will be definitive of his evolution. He expanded his aesthetic references in Rome, where he traveled thanks to a scholarship from the Diputación de Orense. His short life was spent between his homeland and Madrid. He took part in several National Exhibitions and won third class medals on two occasions, 1899 and 1901. He is inscribed in eclecticism, adopting the most diverse techniques and themes, a style shared with Galician painters of his generation as Jenaro Carrero or Joaquín Vaamonde. Justel will be, together with these authors, one of the members of the mythical Xeracion Doente (Sorrowful Generation), a denomination promoted by Bello Piñeiro to define the group of painters who lived during the last three decades of the 19th century and who became a link between the pictorial tradition of the 19th century and the artistic renovation that would arrive with the new century. His interest in the landscape will be a constant, evolving from academicism to a free and spontaneous style, product of the direct capture of nature. His stains of color denote a light impasto and an instinctive brushstroke. He captures the light effects that build the different planes of depth. He used to paint the surroundings of Madrid. He also practiced the orientalist genre, the nude and the portrait. He was commissioned to decorate the altar of San Antonio de Padua in the Cathedral of Orense. Justel died of tuberculosis, the same disease that killed other important painters such as Jenaro Carrero Fernández, Ovidio Murguía de Castro and Joaquín Vaamonde Cornide. He is represented in the Archaeological Museum of Orense.

JOAQUÍN SOROLLA Y BASTIDA (Valencia, 1863 - Cercedilla, Madrid, 1923). Artist's book "Los paisajes de Sorolla" with two plates. Facsimile with Old Mill Bianco paper, 100g. Copy 1804/2998. Attached study book. ARTIKA Publisher. Measurements: 35,3 x 45,5 cm cm (book), 35,3 x 45,7 cm (plates, x2); 41 x 53 x 12,5 cm (case). Unique editions with facsimile reproductions of 73 drawings by Joaquín Sorolla, belonging to the Sorolla Museum and the Sorolla Museum Foundation in Madrid. Joaquín Sorolla (Valencia, 1863 - Cercedilla, Madrid, 1923) showed his fondness for drawing and painting, attending drawing classes in the afternoons given by the sculptor Cayetano Capuz at the School of Artisans. Awarded upon finishing his preliminary studies at the Escuela Normal Superior, he entered the prestigious Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Carlos in Valencia in 1879. Also, during his visits to Madrid in 1881 and 1882, he copied paintings by Velázquez, Ribera and El Greco at the Prado Museum. Two years later he obtained a great success at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts with a history painting, which stimulated him to apply for a scholarship to study at the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Having achieved his goal, in 1885 Sorolla left for Rome, staying in Paris for several months before arriving. In the French capital he was impressed by the paintings of the realists and the painters who worked outdoors. At the end of his years in Rome he returned to Valencia in 1889, settling in Madrid the following year. In 1892 Sorolla showed a new concern in his art, becoming interested in social problems by depicting the sad scene of "¡Otra Margarita!", awarded a first class medal at the National, and the following year at the International in Chicago. This sensitivity will remain in his work until the end of the decade, in his performances on the Valencian coast. Gradually, however, the Valencian master will abandon the themes of unhappy children that we see in "Triste herencia", which had been awarded a prize at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900 and at the National in Madrid a year later. Encouraged by the success of his resplendent images of the Mediterranean, and stimulated by his love of the light and life of its sunny beaches, he focused on these scenes in his works, more cheerful and pleasant, with which he would achieve international fame. In 1906 he held his first individual exhibition at the George Petit Gallery in Paris, where he also demonstrated his skills as a portraitist. In 1908 the American Archer Milton Huntington, impressed by the artist's exhibition at the Grafton Gallery in London, sought to acquire two of his works for his Hispanic Society. A year later he himself invited Sorolla to exhibit at his institution, resulting in an exhibition in 1909 that was a huge success. The relationship between Huntington and Sorolla led to the most important commission of the painter's life: the creation of the immense canvases destined to illustrate, on the walls of the Hispanic Society, the regions of Spain. Trying to capture the essence of the lands and people of his country, Sorolla traveled throughout Spain between 1911 and 1919, while continuing to hold exhibitions. Incapacitated by an attack of hemiplegia in 1921, Sorolla died two years later, without seeing his great "Vision of Spain", which would not be installed until 1926. He is currently represented in the Prado Museum and the one that bears his name in Madrid, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Orsay Museum in Paris, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao and Valencia, the National Portrait Gallery in London and many others.
