| Biography: |
Engineer by profession, painting as passion. Born in 1988 in Palma de Mallorca, I am in love with the sea and the landscapes that make up our islands.
I started drawing and painting from a very young age, being at 8 years when I painted the first painting and until 10 I continued drawing and painting, making contact with oil painting in the classes of Mrs. Margarita. At 11 I began my learning stage where I managed to strengthen the foundations and techniques of painting that marks my career with María Oliver Mir's classes. I started training in the technique of light-dark with charcoal and diffuser. The perspective, the vanishing points and the natural still lifes came later. Later, I devoted myself fully to oil painting and to experience the color palette fan. At 16 years and for a long period, the painting is relegated to the background to focus on studies. It is not until the 29 years that I resume painting with the will to recreate works and recover all this time of pause. For a year I took classes with Paco Gaita, with whom I continued learning and incorporating new colors to my palette, such as cobalt blue so characteristic of his works. Nowadays I continue painting mainly marine of the Balearic coast. Xisco Munoz Contreras |
