40 - FERNANDO SANZ (Córdoba).

FERNANDO SANZ (Córdoba). "Autumn Sonata." Oil and acrylic on canvas. Signed. Certificate of authenticity included. Dimensions: 81x130 cm. Fernando Sanz articulates an abstract language marked by strong gesturality, in which broad, calligraphic black lines organize the pictorial space through dynamic paths, overlays, and points of tension. Against light backgrounds, splashes of color and splatters introduce rhythmic elements that balance the energy of the brushstroke with areas offering greater visual breathing room. The result is a painting that appears direct and spontaneous, though it is underpinned by a careful interplay between gesture, negative space, and color. Trained at the Córdoba School of Arts and Crafts, Fernando Sanz is an artist for whom drawing and painting have been a natural medium since childhood. His career began in the field of pastel portraiture, a period during which he held his first solo exhibition at Distrito. With more than fifteen years of professional experience in tattooing, he now runs his own studio—Fertattoo—in the heart of Córdoba, while continuing to develop his work as a painter. His training under the master Manuel Castillero provided a decisive impetus in refining his technique and constructing his visual narrative.
