Lux Ferre

Aguado’s paintings are steeped in symbolism and pay homage to historical artworks and traditions. Painted in a classic style, his paintings represent dream worlds, each with a unique narrative and voice. His surreal compositions are a feast for the eyes full of bold colors and a myriad of animals, plants and creatures, blending one world with many others.

Jesús Aguado takes his viewers, through a stark surrealism, to a universe of dual animated beings that parade on the edge of the endearing and the disturbing, scenarios full of humor that plays with incongruity and irreverence, where the human being has no place.
The theatricalized entelechy becomes the hallmark of the creatures that star in fictitious worlds full of winks to the reality that surrounds people, under an ironic and acid analysis that seduces and traps the viewer. Baroque roots give a special touch to the lighting and the agglomeration of visual stimuli, which intertwine past and present.
