About

Barcelona artist Raul de la Torre's vibrant abstract mixed media artworks pay homage to textiles. De La Torre allows the materials to take over during the process and collaborates with the unexpected to create works that speak to the natures of dynamism and unity. Experimentation with different materials, textures and techniques in each of his paintings has been a point of discovery and a major part of Raul de la Torre’s work. In his Fils I Colors series he attempts to find the third dimension through the use of different materials.

The interaction between the artist, gravity, and the paint is important for the final result. A tilting technique permits the paint to be a major architect of the final result, giving it a life of its own. It results in infinite and timeless color combinations. In many cases, the different layers of color each represent a temporary state of mind, time, and even feelings, places and people. Some of them are embroidered forever in our memory turning to form part of our DNA. To represent the firmness and strength of that past the cotton is mixed with the paint in the works to form a unity.

This colorful 30 inch high by 24 inch wide original artwork is wired and ready to hang. Embroidery provides another layer as it creates thick shadows with organic shapes. De la Torre makes horizontal cuts on the canvas and covers these open areas using color matching cotton thread. When combined with light, these shapes create a more dynamic surface and offer different views of the work to various observers. The sides of this artwork are painted white and it does not require framing. It is signed and dated by the artist on the lower right corner as well as on the back.

Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are also available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Raul de la Torre was born in Barcelona in 1964 and attended Massana Art School. About the Fils series, de la Torre remarks: “FILS I COLORS is an attempt to find life, movement and parts that are not static, that change in their interaction with the observer. The different combinations of colors represent different emotions and interpretations for each individual interacting with the works.”

Raul de la Torre's artworks can be found in the collections of The Four Seasons Abu Dhabi, the Tropicana Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, the Rothschild Family Collection, and varying Hilton properties. His works have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including New York, Hong Kong and Los Angeles.

Raul de la Torre, a Barcelona-born artist residing in Los Angeles, embarked on his artistic journey at Massana Art School Barcelona, where he delved into the world of abstract paintings, canvas, embroidery, mixed media, organic shapes, colorful lines, texture, and dimension. His creative exploration led him to experiment with diverse materials, textures, and techniques, unveiling captivating discoveries within each artwork. His original artworks have garnered global recognition, with exhibitions spanning influential art hubs like New York, Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and his mesmerizing paintings now grace esteemed private collections worldwide.

Within his groundbreaking Fils I Colors series, he skillfully merges various elements to uncover the elusive third dimension, employing a fusion of canvas or paper, and mixed media such as acrylic paint and cotton thread to transcend traditional boundaries. De la Torre's deliberate slicing technique symbolizes his fervent pursuit of heightened dimensionality. He masterfully weaves color-matching cotton thread across the horizontal incisions, adorning and concealing these exposed areas. By incorporating embroidery, he introduces an additional layer, casting intricate shadows through the interplay of organic shapes.
