Javier Ventura

Art House 18
Address: 71 Promenade
Open: 2/3 and 9/10 September



Javier is showing his distinctive paintings on canvas which are inspired by the space where he lives in Portobello, overlaid with symbolism and surrealism.

Javier’s painting is closely related to the sea and the light. It is a symbolist, surrealist and literary interpretation, with an enigmatic atmosphere which tells stories related to the landscape and architecture. 

“Your painting belongs to the world of the real, to those parallel worlds that surround us, but which they say we don’t see, and if we do see them it’s better not to notice them. False, because both painting and poetry are the evidence that those worlds exist and are more authentic than the realities imposed on us. “The crack in the canvas”.” Paco Aragón
