Jose Higuera, Spanish realist
painter, was born in 1966.
Since an early age he showed a
defined interest in drawing and painting, being this a tendency noticed by his
school teachers. Encouraged by his
teachers and his family, Jose was provided of the needed material to pursue his
artistic talent resulting in the fact that at the age of ten years he had
already produced his first oil painting.
His grandmother decides to put him
under the tuition of local artists to initiate him in the knowledge of some
techniques of this art and start him painting mainly landscapes; although it
should be noted that José is basically a self-taught artist with the inevitable
influences of the creative movements that he develops with his own style being
realism the basis of all his work.
His first exhibitions are received
with high interest by the critics and the public and is not long before he
stars selling his works with the resulting enthusiasm that encourages him to
continue on the not-always-easy road of the art of painting as a profession.
During years Jose works on an
exclusive basis with the Art Gallery and Auction House of Madrid, during which
period he builds up experience and contacts that allow him to dedicate his time
exclusively to painting. He has then
presented his works in a number of exhibitions throughout Spain, USA and Asia.
At the moment he lives in Cantabria
(North of Spain) and the realism in his works continues to be the main
characteristic.
