Bartolome Estades Sastre, called Tomeo by his friends, currently resides in Palma de Mallorca. He was in one of the last graduating classes of the Mediterranean School of Arts headed by Joaquin Torrents Llado. He also studied with the Catalan painter Charles Got.
Having more than 20 shows to his credit, the most important thing to Sastre is not the show but the finished work. Showing his finished products is the part of being an artist that Sastre loves. His work was received with critical acclaim by way of a silver medal in 1985 in Palma's Salon de Otono exhibition and circa 1991 a prize known as "Tall de Vermadors de Binissalem." He was also selected to show his work in the biannual Paintings of Baleares.
In Sastre's work we perceive something more than mere nostalgia, but a sensation of the immediate. The subject of choice, Mallorca and the Mediterranean, is what Sastre captures in his works. Something that pertains to his life like a palpable reality: the Mallorca that Adam Diehl imagines in the garden of the Fomentor Hotel; the Mallorca that Robert Graces and Adam Silltoe yearned for in the unending evening vigils of wine and poetry; the Mallorca that Jorge Luis Borges dreamed of as he wrote his poetry from the Grand Hotel. It is a pleasure to view Sastre's thoroughly explored landscape paintings that harmonize nature's darks and lights. The allurement of the mirror quality he gives his reflections brings a calm over the senses; a fleeting moment captured in oil.

Bullfighting Scene Oil Painting, Figurative Expressionism, 1950s
By Jose Maria Tuser Vazquez
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Title: Bullfighting Scene Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986) Technique: Oil on board Dimensions: 25.6 x 21.3 in (65 x 54 cm) Frameless Period: Second half of the 20th century Art Movement: Figurative Expressionism with Impressionist influences Condition: Good, with visible signs of aging on the surface DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK This painting captures a crucial moment in a bullfight, where the matador, dressed in a dazzling traje de luces (suit of lights), elegantly holds the red cape (muleta) while facing a wounded bull. The scene conveys tension and drama through energetic and loose brushwork, with strong contrasts of light and color that enhance its expressiveness. The abstract background, built with gestural brushstrokes in warm, earthy tones, reinforces the dynamism and immediacy of the moment. The thick texture of the paint and the vibrant colors in the matador's attire and cape are characteristic of Figurative Expressionism, giving the work a strong emotional impact. Tuser masterfully captures the essence of movement and the intensity of the bullfight through a painterly approach reminiscent of Impressionism, but with a greater emphasis on gesture and expressive color, making his work stand out for its raw energy and dramatic depth. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specialized in bullfighting themes, gaining recognition in the 20th-century art scene for his expressive depictions of the corrida (bullfight). He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona, where he developed a strong mastery of color and composition. From 1947 onwards, his work focused almost entirely on bullfighting, creating posters, illustrations, and paintings that capture the emotion and spectacle of the arena. He was a frequent collaborator with El Ruedo magazine, where his illustrations and covers solidified his reputation. Additionally, in the 1940s, he designed series of postcards featuring traditional Spanish costumes for the Artigas Publishing House. His work has been auctioned in several art houses and is highly valued among collectors of bullfighting paintings. His influence and legacy in tauromaquia (bullfighting art...

By Roberto Domingo Fallola

The classic frame adds sobriety and balance to the piece, further highlighting the expressive power of the gouache.
