(Spanish, b 1965)
Francisco Bartus is a painter born in 1965 in Valencia, Spain. His high school professors encouraged him to pursue art in his higher education studies due to his vision and talent. Upon completing his education, he started his career as a professional designer and plastic artist.
The artist, Juan Genoves, had a great influence on him. After working with him, Bartus' artwork evolved to a new genre. Utilizing plastic medium, he brightly expresses how our deepest feelings are both inherited and shaped by our personal, individual experience. Bartus developed his own unique style producing stunning artworks. Powerful pictorial techniques combined with shared human sentiments are behind his most recent themes.
The use of mixed media creates a 3rd dimension, making his pieces extraordinarily different. The layering of paint is striking and adds yet another dimension. His works are innovative and distinctive, encompassing a variety of materials and techniques with fresh ideas to create excitement. Bartus has been exhibited in galleries in France, Spain, U.S.A., Germany, Switzerland, and U.K.
