About the Item

BALAGUER , Alex ( Barcelona 1968 ) Gran Premio de Francia 1961- Circuito de Reims-Gueux During early childhood, Àlex Balaguer began to sketch motorcars symbolic of Maranello’s trademark vehicle.

The space for memories and dreams always keeps us on tenterhooks and initiate wishful thinking. His works are carried out with great courage reflecting the richness of textures and nuances that can be achieved through boldness and directness. Power is the obvious expressive component. The central theme of imagination is the subject, the car as a pretext. It is subjected to stress without falling into sensationalism bestowed with strongly charged emotion whilst approaching the world. In some cases, the imagination shows its formality as it enters into a phenomenon closing in on the dramatic movement and expressive voice that suggests a physiological space in which hope dominates this particular”….
