Artist: Pilar García Sanz
Medium: Oil on Tablex
Dimensions (unframed): 52 x 52 cm

This haunting and introspective piece by Pilar García Sanz invites viewers into a fragmented psychological space, where the human face becomes a site of tension, vulnerability, and quiet turmoil. Rendered in oil on tablex, the work combines rough textures with expressive brushstrokes, layering muted pinks, earthy reds, and shadowy greens over a somber violet background. The result is a ghostly, deconstructed portrait that seems to both emerge from and dissolve into its surface.

The choice of tablex—a dense, smooth wood fiber board—adds a raw physicality to the work, reinforcing its introspective and tactile nature. The artist’s deliberate use of distortion and partial abstraction echoes the influence of figures such as Francis Bacon, Goya, and Jenny Saville, yet remains unmistakably personal.

Pilar García Sanz holds a Fine Arts degree from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Since 1990, she has worked as an educator in artistic disciplines ranging from archaeological drawing to engraving and painting techniques. Her practice is deeply rooted in the dialogue between creation and teaching, where each informs the other.

Drawing inspiration from expressionism, surrealism, and magical realism, García Sanz explores the human psyche through traditional methods imbued with a contemporary vision. Her work is characterized by emotional rawness, symbolic distortion, and an ongoing quest to uncover the unconscious. She has exhibited in cities such as Cádiz and Ávila, as well as in international venues across Sweden and Denmark. Her artworks are part of several private collections, and she has participated in artist residencies including PACA and Decero Creativo in Asturias, where she continues to develop her graphic and pictorial work.

This original painting is a unique opportunity to acquire a powerful and emotionally charged artwork by an artist whose practice is both intellectually rigorous and visually arresting.
