JESUS NAVARRO

ARTIST

Jesus makes strong, magnificent still life's in which the flowers and fruits take on a new dimension. His works are full of beauty and poetry with images that surpass reality.

 

Navarro was born in Jerez, (Cadiz), located in southern Spain, in 1952. 

By the age of twelve his artistic talents led him to the local school of arts and crafts Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Jerez where he studied painting and sculpture. At this time he also became the apprentice of locally renowned painter, Ramírez Toro under which Navarro learned the complex techniques of classical painting.

​

In 1971, Navarro moved to Barcelona where he began a phase of self-teaching, focusing on combining classical techniques along with his newly discovered self interests in detailed formation of compositions.

At the age of 25, Navarro partnered with other painters along with the City Hall of Barcelona to create the Escuela de Arte Tres en Raya where he was the director.

​

In 1996,Navarro’s work was part of a collective exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami, Florida. The museum acquired a piece from this exhibition for their permanent collection.

Navarro’s work has continued to grow in popularity allowing him to exhibit his work in Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia and in Scotland, China, and the United States.

The art of Navarro is found in private collections in Europe, Asia, North and South America and Art Lounge International is proud to be showcasing the original works in our Leamington Spa based gallery.
