Jose I Giner

Art Brokerage: Jose I. Giner Spanish Artist: Born in Valencia, Jose I. Giner's exceptional artistic ability was soon obvious to those around him and he was encouraged to study fine art from an early age. His work was shown across his home city and received an enthusiastic response, encouraging him to pursue a career as a professional artist. This promising beginning set the pattern for Giner, whose expressive oil paintings have won him considerable acclaim from the critics and the public alike. Fully aware of the debt he owes to the greatest artists of the past, Velasquez, Goya, Renoir, Monet, and Sorolla among others.Giner attributes his traditional painterly technique and highly developed sense of colour to their influence. His beautifully executed representations of the female form display his great love of intense colours, and demonstrate how they can work together to produce a finely balanced composition of great immediacy and charm. Impressive parallels can be drawn between Giner's work and that of the Royo's. Both were born in Valencia, both were classically trained, both "matured" into styles of painting capturing the dramatic visual essence of their homeland-Valencia and the Mediterranean Sea.
