His work

Aurora

Cristian Blanxer (Barcelona, Spain, 1985)

2026, Barcelona

Oil on canvas, 200 x 200 cm.

In Aurora, Cristian Blanxer explores identity through the fusion of portraiture and urban landscape. The woman’s face emerges among urban elements, architecture, trees, street lamps, which act as extensions of the subject. The light, built with light and vibrant brushstrokes, suggests pause, movement and transformation, while the composition presents identity as a process in constant relation to space and lived experience. Blanxer turns painting into a dialogue between memory, emotion and presence, transforming the human figure and the urban space into poetic and emotional registers. His distinctive pictorial language combines realism and surrealist elements to explore introspection and identity.

The perspective it brings to the collection:

We have included Cristian Blanxer in the collection because he combines technical realism with surrealist influences, creating a distinctive language within contemporary painting. His light, luminous technique conveys introspection and reflection on identity, while everyday or reinterpreted scenes generate a poetic and emotional imagery. At the same time, the human figure becomes a space of psychological tension and the city acts as an extension of the subject, thus bringing a unique and relevant voice to the compendium.
