Attention! Start session for bidding for this lot.


A spontaneous, realistic, large-format portrait from the MUGOTES collection, painted in acrylic on canvas by Chus Galiano. He holds a degree in Arts from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and a Master's degree in Art: Idea and Production from the University of Seville. THE COLLECTION ============== MUGOTES is a tribute to worthy historical figures, remembered not only for their talents but also for their unique mustaches. The collection consists of twenty-four colorful, large-format portraits, painted with acrylic pigments on double-width stretcher bars. These unique and diverse mustachioed figures, such as Albert Einstein, Marlon Brando, "Cantinflas," Mario Bros., Jimmy Hendrix, Chaplin, and Prince, among others, are refreshed in our memories with the painter's distinctive pop style, especially in this figurative series of popular veneration. The style of this limited collection is based on a sustained dialogue with color that erupts to the rhythm of house and funk through spontaneous and realistic lines, full of splashes and drips. BIGOTES opened in October 2020 at the Casa de Las Sirenas in Seville. The exhibition has also visited the towns of El Viso del Alcor (Seville) and Chipiona (Cádiz). THE AUTHOR ========= Chus Galiano is a Spanish artist born in Seville (1975), a multidisciplinary artist with a strong pictorial vocation. His Artwork is found in collections around the world, and he is distinguished by his refined and vibrant use of color as a central language of communication. His approach is based on an intuitive and accessible palette, capable of generating immediate emotional connections with the viewer. Through free, childlike, and spontaneous compositions, he constructs sensorial landscapes that invite contemplation, channeling energy, optimism, and balance. Color is not only a key element in the creative process, but also the vehicle that transforms each piece into a direct, stimulating, and positive visual experience.

  • 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.
