Spanish Fine Art
Rafael Atencia
Casto del Río (Córdoba), 1954. He began his painting studies with Master C. Toledo
continuing his training within the Artistic Circle of Barcelona, San Lluch.
In his works we appreciate a perfect balance of color and shapes. His painting
is thin and delicate, his human shapes, serene and intimate, and his landscapes
show a good craft and personality.
Rafael Atencia is a sensitive artist who helds his gaze in simple and everyday objects and
knows how to penetrate the hidden beauty of the shapes and lines to get a beautiful, plea-
sant and a full of inner peace pictorial result.
In the plastic beauty of Rafael Atencia a very personal and poetic expression is manifested,
which also has an eminently lyrical quality. The contemplation of these works, produces a
satisfaction and delight, joy motivated by a perfect colorful harmony , engaging the viewer
in its beautifully constructed lines, of a very real and executed aesthetics.
In these works we find a perfect balance of shapes and color, the painting is very thin and
delicate, the brush-strokes will not stain the canvas, they rather caress it with great affec-
tion and finesse. His figures are calm, very humanized, very intimate when contemplated
with interest. The landscapes are very well made and and really colorful, very well studied
and with a great personality.
Rafael Atencia is sensible man and artist, who puts his attention in the simple things of
everyday life, engaging in a silent dialogue with the things of the world around him. He
knows how to penetrate the hidden beauty of the shapes and lines and can play with them
so that the result is beautiful, nice, calm and full of peace. He creates a beautiful game
between the contents and the container, and the link between them gives his works a par-
ticular personality.
