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/.
