Burgos, Spain, 1951-2013
Abstract painter trained at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts, broadening his knowledge and technique in Maastricht (Netherlands) and graduating in Fine Arts in Madrid.
He was also Professor of Plastic Arts and Design at the School of Art in Burgos, alternating this professional facet as Professor of Artistic-Colour Drawing with the pictorial one and also the director of the centre.
His works were technically defined by the use of various materials and disciplines: from oil on linen to large-scale works, to photographic support, paper, newspaper cuttings that form small collages and, in his last stage, methacrylate, wood and even lead. superimposed on the canvas in different sizes and thicknesses, evolving in a constant search for balance through the play between volumes and spaces.
An endless number of horizontal strokes gave shape to the artist's pictorial language. For the first time, the reference was drawings of a symbolic realism that has been little left behind in a constant evolution. Sanz de la Fuente did not intend to tell anything specific in his paintings, however, I tried to place the viewer before them and that produced feelings of free understanding. In some of his works there is a union with the landscape, especially urban, with clear references to the external environment and also to the intimate surroundings.
