COA
A young woman's face fills the canvas, dark hair around it, a broad sweep of red across the top. A dark band of paint runs across her nose and cheek where the artist has painted over her, and two hands are outlined in red, held up on either side of her face in nothing but a thin line. Jorge Fernández Alday was born in Bilbao and painted for years in Menorca, showing with Galería Vidrart there and with Galeria Jordi Barnadas in Barcelona. The female face is the constant in his work, and he paints intuitively, letting a picture take its own direction rather than following a plan.
This one took that literally. With new linen impossible to get during the pandemic, he painted over a finished portrait of his own rather than stop working, and left the changes visible — the head reworked, the hands added in red line, the earlier picture still readable underneath.
Photographed honestly, in natural light, exactly as it is. No surprises when your new favourite thing arrives.
Everything we sell is 100% authentic. No reproductions, no replicas.
PS. We ship worldwide — we'll include a delivery quote to anywhere outside Australia with your enquiry.
