SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture
Francisco Llorens Díaz (1874- 1948, Madrid) was a Spanish-Galician painter, known for landscapes, still-lifes and portraits. Nature was the main topic of his paintings. He was the painter of seascapes. He spent his time to show landscapes along the seaside of Galicia. He loved the sea coast of Galicia, where he would spend hours drawing and painting this nature. He almost preferred to paint, the places very close to his residences.
“Landscapes impress us because of the form of what is in them, their colour, and above all, the emotions they awaken in our spirit. Precisely because these emotions are the soul of the landscape, we have to gather them directly from there, so we can feel them in all their intensity”.
He travelled Belgium and the Netherlands, Madrid, Galicia, Paris, Bruges and Barcelona. He painted plein-air, capturing the changes in the light. He explored light and colours with tones of blue, grey, silver, green, lemon-yellow and ochre. He was influenced by his teacher, Sorolla, who was a significant impressionist and post-impressionist artist.
