About the Item

Landscape Finder. Goyo painted this intriguing painting in 1994, when his inspiration from the old masters was most noticeable. The artist declares: “I feel a powerful attraction to the works of the early masters of the Quattrocento. I think its beauty is the result of the tension between an intuitive desire for plastic order and the clumsiness of resources typical of someone who begins a new and unknown change”. In Landscape Finder many characters appear on the scene, some with very marked expressions and others with more faded features. Symbolic elements, that the author has always handled skillfully due to his great knowledge of Renaissance painting and symbols in ancient painting, are seen everywhere. The work, all of it in soft shades of white, ochre, green and orange, leads us to the contemplation of a painting within another painting and poses many unknowns. The panel was previously treated by the artist to give it texture before starting to apply color. Here are a few words from the artist: “From a very young age, I began to feel attracted by the art of painting, and as of today it continues being my greatest passion.  The first thing I do when I start a painting is to cover the surface with spots of paint, lacking concrete form. Later, I calmly observe these spots and I begin to perceive images that little by little I transform into concrete forms, for example, a landscape, a fruit, figures, and faces.  During this creative process, I try to respect as much as possible the expressive energy from those original spots, as they are the roots that sustain the work. I like to use different pictorial techniques: coal, graphite, watercolor, acrylic, oil…They are different paths that always convey you to the same destiny: the emotion of expressing with images your own ideas and feelings, your own life experiences”. In 2002, Ediciones Sammer published a monograph about Goyo, the first of a collection entitled "Great Contemporary Artist" which has 240 pages as well as reproductions from most of his work from its beginning until publication. "Buscador de paisajes" appears published on double page 42-43. That same year, The Spanish Philatelic Postal and Telegraphic Service issued a beautiful series of eight self-adhesive stamp depicting reproductions of eight works by Goyo Domínguez which have "music" as a common theme, as well as a stamp to commemorate Christmas.

From this vision emerge colorful forms that converge towards a floating book...
