ALICIA GRAU PEREZ-AGUSTIN
Born in Barcelona - Spain in 1955, Alicia divides her working time between her hometown and Florence, Italy. After graduating at the Artes and Oficios School of Barcelona, Alicia has succeeded in creating an artistic trend among the artists of her generation and her work is now spread throughout the world. She specialises in child and female portraits, along with still-lifes and urban landscapes.
"...Her style is unmistakable: though she is essentially a painter, she bases her work on an exquisite drawing technique, which is a fundamental need for any figurative artist. Then, there is the use of pigments, through which the compact solidity of her textures causes her canvases take on a palpable sensation of volume, thanks to the priming, the scraping and the thick layers of paints that she uses...". [Josep MElich, October 2003].
Alicia.s works are currently exhibited in many of the best contemporary art galleries in US (particularly in New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco) Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Japan and The Nederlands, and her paintings form part of a number of private art collections.
Alicia offers us her oils, so full of tenderness and sensibility, but above all redolent of love of her subject, even when she is dealing with an elegant still-life..
