Biography: Vicente Antúnez Trigo was born in Badajoz on August 15, 1938. He has been a Social Educator at the Municipal Institute of Social Services of the Badajoz City Council; He has carried out important work in the field of archeology and caving as a researcher, collaborator and founder of various research groups and teams (HACE, CEPA, CAPE). From the artistic point of view Antúnez is self-taught; his work connects directly with abstraction and with the oldest roots of surrealism, which inevitably refer to the dream world of El Bosco and, more recently, as a more immediate precedent, to Leger's “tubismo” and, especially, to Dalí's surrealism. His drawings are characterized by meticulousness and technical precision, to which Antúnez transfers his dream visions and his fantastic obsessions, within the greatest freedom that an artist can enjoy, guided only by his overflowing imagination and apart from any logical consideration. or rational. His fantasy and creativity are translated into disturbing forms, which disconcert the spirit of the viewer, so that it is not possible to remain insensitive to Antúnez's compositions. Antúnez recognizes his inclination towards El Bosco and Dürer among the classics and Tapies among contemporaries, he almost always disregards color and describes his painting as "experiences, projections of the subconscious through the pencil" (TODAY, September 2, 1989 ).
