We are thrilled to announce a new collection by the talented artist Jorge Garrafé, now on display at our Art 9 gallery on Carretera Moraira to Calpe 147. Jorge, an artist with whom we have had the pleasure of working with before, brings a unique blend of techniques and creative processes that are sure to captivate art enthusiasts.
A Journey Through Art History
In our recent interview, Jorge shared insights into his artistic journey. He has been involved in art since birth, culminating in a distinctive style that combines sugar engravings with gold and silver leaf. Using intaglio printing on cotton paper, Jorge's work reflects a deep connection to prehistoric cave paintings, particularly inspired by Neolithic remains in the Mediterranean arc.
Jorge's passion for cave painting allows him to express himself in a non-verbal way, exploring themes of society and human progress. His creative process varies from spontaneous creations reminiscent of ancient cave drawings to meticulously planned pieces that can take years to perfect.
The Creative Process
Jorge explained how some of his works involve numerous sketches, capturing moments from nature, animals, and the sea. Other pieces emerge directly from his mind, echoing the immediacy of prehistoric art. This spontaneity and thoroughness define his unique approach, resulting in artwork that conveys deep personal and societal reflections.
His latest collection showcases his mastery of combining ancient techniques with modern elements, using gold and silver leaf to enhance the brightness and character of his pieces. This fusion creates a contemporary feel while maintaining a connection to our artistic roots.
What to Expect
Visitors to our gallery can expect to see a compelling display of Jorge's work that resonates with our shared history and cultural evolution. His art invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences and the world around them. Jorge's pieces have been exhibited across Europe, receiving positive responses and fostering a sense of connection regardless of cultural background.
