  • Ramon Costa Nolla. Ink drawing on paper "Church with two bells". 1919. Hand-signed. 28x29.5 cm.

    Ramon Costa Nolla. Ink drawing on paper, "Church with Two Bells." 1919. Hand-signed. 28 x 29.5 cm. Ramon Costa Nolla (Reus, July 18, 1877 – Barcelona, 1952) was a Catalan painter and draftsman. He showed an aptitude for drawing from a very young age, and in 1887, at the age of 10, he began Artworking in the studio of Domènec Soberano, and shortly afterward with the painter Aleix Clapés, who at that time had a drawing school in Reus. After moving to Barcelona, he painted landscapes, which he exhibited twice, but he specialized in pen and ink drawings. At the age of 23, he was hired by the Seguí publishing house to illustrate its unfinished encyclopedia, collaborating with Odón de Buen. He Artworked for other publishers, alternating drawing with oil painting. Around 1920, he began Artworking at the F.D.T. publishing house, founded by the Marist Brothers (which became Editorial Luis Vives in 1932). He lived somewhat apart from the artistic trends of his time, dedicating himself almost exclusively to editorial illustration. In his studio, he kept a very extensive graphic archive. Among other Artworks, he illustrated, in addition to various encyclopedias, *El Cielo* (The Sky), by the astronomer Comas i Solà; *Arte y monumentos* (Art and Monuments), with texts by J. Rodergas i Calmell; *Itinerario artístico: Cataluña* (Artistic Itinerary: Catalonia), with texts by Josep Francesc Ràfols; and 24 volumes of a collection from the Hernando publishing house in Madrid, entitled "La riqueza en la mano" (Wealth in Hand), which dealt with animal husbandry and agriculture. He signed most of his Artworks with the initials R.C. In his youth, he contributed to the Reus newspapers *Reus Artístich* and *L’Escut de Reus*. His paintings were exhibited in Reus and Barcelona, and in 1914 he won first prize for drawing in a competition organized by the "Associació catalanista de Gràcia". In 1940 he retired from professional activity. He died in Barcelona in 1952.

  • Muz-Martínez: "Threshold of Presence" - Series: Thresholds" (2026)

    Threshold of Presence Series: Thresholds 100x73 Muz-Martínez In Threshold of Presence, Muz-Martínez places us in that suspended instant between the visible and the intangible, where the figure seems to emerge and dissolve simultaneously. The Artwork is constructed from a constant tension between matter and emptiness, between gesture and silence. The face, barely suggested, does not seek to define itself but rather to be implied, as if it belonged to a liminal space where identity has not yet fully revealed itself. The layers of color, applied with a restrained yet firm gestural style, generate an emotional depth that transcends the purely formal. The composition breathes through subtle contrasts and glazes that invite the viewer to approach, to complete the image from their own perception. There is no closed narrative, but an open experience: a journey towards the essential. This Artwork is part of the Thresholds series, where the artist investigates the limits between the figurative and the abstract, proposing spaces for reflection in which presence is not affirmed, but rather intuited.

  • Javier Arizabalo "Guillermo" (2026)

    Javier Arizabalo, born in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, April 1965. The Artwork is an oil painting on polyester. Titled "Guillermo," it measures 73 x 60 cm (height x width) and is in perfect condition. In this Artwork, Javier Arizabalo constructs an image of profound emotional and spiritual intensity, where the human figure emerges from the darkness enveloped in an atmosphere of silence and contemplation. The scene, illuminated only by the faint flame of a candle, evokes the tradition of Baroque chiaroscuro and the great Spanish classical painting, establishing a dialogue between contemporary realism and timeless spirituality. The upward gaze of the figure, full of introspection and contemplation, transforms the composition into a reflection on human fragility, faith, the passage of time, and the inner search. Light acts as a symbolic and structural element, modeling the face and hands with extraordinary technical sensitivity, while the red garments add drama and a powerful emotional charge. In this Artwork, Arizabalo demonstrates an outstanding mastery of anatomy, textures, and lighting, achieving a painting of great narrative power and remarkable technical virtuosity. The result is an image that transcends physical representation to inhabit a profoundly human and universal realm, where emotion and painting merge into a single language. A Artwork of great visual intensity and technical refinement that confirms the artist's ability to renew the realist tradition from a contemporary and deeply poetic perspective. Signed lower right

  • Javier Arizabalo "Suspension" (2026)

    ArtArtwork by Javier Arizabalo, born in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, April 1965. The Artwork, titled "Suspension," is an oil on canvas measuring 114 x 146 cm (height x width), created in 2026. The artArtwork is in perfect condition. The Artwork is hand-signed. In "Suspension," Javier Arizabalo creates an image of powerful poetic charge where reality and reverie converge in a delicate visual balance. The female figure, suspended above the shore and enveloped by the light of the setting sun, seems to defy gravity to inhabit an intimate space between the physical and the spiritual. The composition conveys a profound sense of silence, freedom, and contemplation. The floating body, captured with extraordinary anatomical subtlety, becomes a symbol of liberation, introspection, and transcendence, while the seascape and reflections on the wet sand contribute an almost unreal atmosphere of serenity. Light plays an essential role in the Artwork. The warm tones of the horizon contrast with the immensity of the sky and envelop the scene in a soft, cinematic luminosity that intensifies the emotional dimension of the image. Arizabalo demonstrates remarkable technical mastery in the treatment of transparencies, textures, and reflections, achieving a painting of great virtuosity and contemporary sensitivity. Beyond figurative representation, the Artwork proposes a reflection on human fragility, the desire to rise above reality, and the search for a state of inner peace. An evocative and profoundly lyrical painting that places the viewer before a visual experience charged with emotion, beauty, and mystery.

  • Esther Girbau: "Essential Red"

    Artist: Esther Girbau, Barcelona. Title: "Essential Red". Description: Mixed media on canvas, signed and titled on the back. A certificate issued by the artist is included. Dimensions: 80 x 80 x 2 cm. Condition: Excellent. In her painting style, one of her objectives is to do things simply. To remove superfluous layers and share beauty in its rawest and most honest form, allowing the harmony of textures and natural pigments to express itself. Her painting connects with worlds where she discovers new languages, new patterns emerge, and symbolizes the beauty in nature's imperfections. Esther Girbau's Artworks are characterized by their organic forms and natural textures. Each color is a combination of pigments and materials mixed rhythmically and placed intuitively. Her main objective is to convey emotions through immersion in small details, nuances, and textures, offering a space for pause and enjoyment of the present moment. His Artworks are part of private collections in Spain, Paris, Hamburg, Zurich, New York, and San Francisco, among others.
