José Bautista, born in Seville in 1955, is a visual artist, a doctor in Fine Arts, living in Valencia. He studied in Barcelona and Valencia. From these cities he received the energy and influence for Fauvist color. Sorolla and Picasso are his inspirations, which is reflected in his bold and expressive use of color.

Bautista demonstrates remarkable technical skill in his paintings, which is evident in his handling of color and composition. His style can be described as a fusion of the classical with the contemporary, where he combines traditional techniques with modern approaches. His use of oil/acrylic (depending on the technique he employs) allows for depth and texture that add dimension to his works. Precise brushstrokes and attention to detail reflect a meticulous dedication to his craft.

He often explores deep and universal themes in his work, such as identity, human nature, and the passage of time. His paintings are not only visually appealing, but also thought-provoking. He uses symbolism that, although subtle, enriches the visual narrative. Recurring elements, such as certain natural motifs or abstract figures, serve to connect his works in an ongoing dialogue about the human condition.

Color in Bautista’s work is not merely decorative, but plays a crucial role in conveying emotions and moods. The way he contrasts and harmonizes colors demonstrates a deep understanding of color theory and its psychological impact.

Although influences from earlier artistic movements such as Expressionism or Fauvism can be detected in his work, Bautista manages to maintain an original and distinctive voice.
