The artistic work of Jordi Artigas is the result of his constant search for new natural and earthy pigments; a profound evolution in his career as an artist that at this moment is in full creative maturity. This evolution has led him to his newest pictorial series of striking abstracts, characterized by the use of materials as diverse as coffee, dyes, acrylic pigments, oil, and a long list of others, giving his work a very powerful and almost sculptural aspect. His paintings are an internal reflection of his mind, both conceptual and expressionist, in which we find almost savage brushstrokes mixed with textures, symbols, and intentional furrows. Despite the use of all of these various elements, his work curiously reflects serenity and balance.
His chromatic works are carefully balanced, featuring wide brushstrokes that are quite dynamic; the result of the tension between the conscious and the unconscious. Able to transmit with just a few strokes or the agglutination of various materials, a surprising final result.
Thanks in part to international fairs and gallery exhibitions in which he has participated, Artigas' work can be found in private collections throughout the world, including New York, Milan, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Hamburg, London, and Brussels, among others. Artigas' studio is located in the coastal town of Sitges (Barcelona).
