Serra de Rivera, Xavier

Sant Joan Despí, Barcelona, 1946

Along with Francesc Artigau, Robert Llimós, Joan Mora and others, he is part of the nucleus of artists of the so-called "Generació dels 60". He has worked in the technique of etching and later has cultivated painting and drawing. His plastic realism connects with the tradition of western humanism impregnated with modernity, in which the subjectivity of the artist goes beyond the work itself. His figurative paintings hunt the postures of the model, a theme underestimated by subliminal advertising, fashion and technological advances.
