Antonio Guzman Capel

Art Appreciation


The well respected painter, Antonio Guzman Capel, is known for his photographic-like paintings. The Spanish painter is considered a prodigy, learning how to draw at an early age and exhibiting his artwork before his teens.

It was his candid portraits that caught my attention.  I am easily transported in his artwork and experiencing what he wants the viewer to feel.  The warmth of a mother reading to her child. The fear of a torero before meeting his match. The sensuality of a naked woman looking at you from the reflection of her vanity. And the freshness of fruits laid out on the table to be consumed.

Here are just a few of his artwork.  You can see more on his website: http://www.antoniocapel.com/.
