ERNEST COMPTA LLINÀS
Barcelona, 1973
Catalan artist and architect, I live and work in Barcelona.
My works try to express social and emotional diversity through the face. Over the years I have moved between styles and formats, but I have always worked with the same theme: the facial portrait. I work mainly with acrylics on canvas and paper, although some pieces are done with charcoal, oil, pastel and inks. My stylistic influences include abstraction and expressionism.
The range of anonymous faces is based on the identity of the characters. I try to express through facial features, looks and gestures, the nuances, complexity and contrasts of the emotional state of the subjects as a reflection of the mood and essential human aspects.
