In Realism, the artist skills to depict the human figure, the objects and all the elements of his work, translate into a core value of expression, that recognizes the reality as an absolute source of everything that wants to be said. A trend that oil painting would dominate from 1830 up to the beginning of the 20th century, but with its nuances and variations, has remained as an inspirational source of many contemporary creators.
More than a movement, or a pictorial current, Realism has become some kind of trend between those considering the game of light as a key value of visual arts, capable of synthesizing the interpretation of what is seen, as a valid expression of intense beauty.
Close to photography, this new form of oil painting landscaping which includes the use of powerful tools like computers, new graphic resources for ink and substrates, have provided realist paintings of cities, other dimensions, that recreate those captivating sights, where light and shadow, the contrast and profane colors, are all distinctive signs of art works that fascinate by their elaborated simplicity.
In contemporary landscaping, the form is fortified with the colors and the lines of urban landscaping, where geometry prevails and light becomes the brushstroke that determines the volume, all in a spatial building game that allow the artist to express his very personal view of the world.
