Yo estampo, porque lo tengo que estampar…[1] En mi ascesis personal esta el gesto el cual ha ido evolucionando a lo largo de los años, mi inmersión en el surge hace más de una década con la serie “Los abismos del alma…” y la intensidad del “negro” obtenido por el carborundo depositado sobre la matriz…
En el MA 間. Centro de Artes Caldas de Rainha. Portugal Comisariado por Célia Bragança O artista manipula a matéria do silêncio O espaço “vazio”, a folha branca. A mão contém o pincel com finos fios sem cor… sem tinta. A tinta negra espera, o silêncio impera como indicador de um momento de concentração. A…
MA間[1] Antonio Navarro Après le silence, l’esprit du vide s’est installé ; il a toujours été présent dans ma vie, mais je ne savais pas le voir, lorsque la création des éléments graphiques a pris forme, dans la série Silence, je me suis laissé habiter. Les pièces, présentées à Santamaca, à La Barbera, à la Chapelle…
“Después del canto del Búho, el silencio de la montaña es más profundo aún”. Haiku Zen SILENCIO Si realmente dejara que el silencio habitara este espacio que hay ante mis ojos, tendría que permitir que no hubiera palabras impresas en él. Sólo el blanco del papel bastaría para que todo fuera claro y…

If I had to say where I come from, I would say from Lascaux. The memory of human history flows in my genes, a society which has been transhumant from the beginning, tireless traveller in search of a place to settle, but ready to conquer the universe… A man walked to ‘make way’, creating pathways,…
I just took down the last piece of Antonio Navarro’s exhibition in the ‘Sala aLfaRa’. The name of his exhibition was ‘Fugaz’, meaning brief, and it really was. Our intention was to gather his artwork in a precious and precise catalog, making the most of what we lived for less than two months in this…
Antonio Navarro: Patterned landscapes, By Juan Carlos Aparicio Vega Travelling is again brought to the artistic scene as a recurrence, although in this case it is only the transcription of a memory. Far from those hiker painters who enjoyed the arrival of a changing light in the mountains or by the sea, Antonio Navarro (Creon,…
HYPNOSIS ON THE ROAD Fugacity should be considered an artistic category in its double meaning, both ephemeral and elusive. Since the Impressionists endeavored to capture a moment in direct competition with photography, there have been endless ways of catching a fugitive moment, so unattainable for painters until then, representing it, imitating it, making that movement…
FUGAZ Acabo de descolgar la última pieza de la exposición de Antonio Navarro en la Sala aLfaRa, Fugaz, y lo fue. Quisimos atraparla en un catálogo preciso y precioso que da buena cuenta de lo que vivimos durante casi dos meses en este espacio. Y nos queda el recuerdo de las horizontales de colores atravesando…
FUGAZ y ETERNO a la vez / simultáneamente. De la misma forma en que se abrían los pétalos del loto anunciando el nuevo día salían las notas del arpa cuando Neheh rozaba las frágiles cuerdas del instrumento bajo el sicómoro a orillas del Nilo. “Que huela a loto y de sombras a las palabras”, que…
Fugaz (brief, fleeting) (1) Reading Le Breton I discovered the following text: “The car driver is the man of oblivion: the landscape parading by his side, beyond the windscreen, but he feels nothing, in a kind of sensory anesthesia and hypnosis with the road “.[2] Making my way hypnotizes me, It floods my retina…
Soul never thinks without an image(1) This Project shows a wide range of references, result of the constant learning process of the world surrounding his artist, as well as the finding of new constructive elements of images, for instance “the carborundum”, making possible to build up images with visual references based on landscapes raised in…
In my personal ascetism is gesture which has kept developing through the years. My immersion into gesture originated over more than a decade ago from “Los Abismos del Alma”series (“Soul Depths”) and the of the intensity of the black colour, obtained from the carborundum left on the matrix, which have become part of this project,…
