traditional genius of great Spanish painters, the talent for evocation, the
strength of contrasts, the reamlism of landscapes and of characters, the
harmony of the composition are clearly expressed, together with a sharp no of
originality through delicacy and modesty, sheer simplicity that emanate from
these luminous paintings, with their harmonious shapes and
colours.
Through
such harmony, there looms the hidden feeling of anxiety of the genuine artist,
the need to be loved and admired for the beauty of his works
and the transparency of a fee love message communicated those
who want it in their love quest.
This
message is accompanied by what Mario Angel Marrodan calls the poetry of
colours. Juan Carrillo's paintings are profuse in visual emotions, in an
enchantress tonality comparable to those of a Monet
or
a Cezanne.
Therefore,
I have no doubts that the artist's dream will come true and his paintings will
travel down the ages to the picture rails in worldwide famous museums, such as
the Prado and the Louvre.
This
is the wish I make with his numerous admirers who will find when
reading his interesting book a new reason to like
the "poetic painter" from Murcia and Extremadura.
