Francisco Farreras, small format, an approach to the different epoques of the artist along a selection that shows the different techniques he has work with throughout the years. Walking along the past, trying to gather details and memories, remembering older exhibitions, staring at his paintings, we notice that the path Farreras has followed is simply impeccable. Since those early collages, in wich the ductility and transparency given by the delicacy of the papers he uses, sprinkled with a brief but rich color range in shades, plays with the natural oxidation of the paper and the effect of fresh glue; subsequent coudrages that convert to reality the innitially suggested volumes, with sculptural wooden structures covered in fabrics; to the reliefs in wood drawing shapes that create a particular dialogue between lights and shades letting the oil join the work softly, in wich the mature technique of the artist starts enjoying the work on the wood, using color with assiduity and adding different materials that enrich the art work. Tracking the development of his career his trayectory is so coherent that doesn’t need any explanation. His works suggest the possibility of an instinctive wander through different materials making such a dynamic language that words are absolutely unnecessary. We must let ourselves go and the work itself will tell us about the intimacy of the collages that although the coudrages will try to banish, the reliefs will proudly enhance. The silence of the author will lead into the intense locuacity of the work.

Walking along the past, trying to gather details and memories, remembering older exhibitions, staring at
his paintings, we notice that the path Farreras has followed is simply impeccable.
Since those early collages, in wich the ductility and transparency given by the delicacy of the papers he
uses, sprinkled with a brief but rich color range in shades, plays with the natural oxidation of the paper
and the effect of fresh glue; subsequent coudrages that convert to reality the innitially suggested
volumes, with sculptural wooden structures covered in fabrics; to the reliefs in wood drawing shapes
that create a particular dialogue between lights and shades letting the oil join the work softly, in wich the
mature technique of the artist starts enjoying the work on the wood, using color with assiduity and
adding different materials that enrich the art work. Tracking the development of his career his trayectory
is so coherent that doesn’t need any explanation.
His works suggest the possibility of an instinctive wander through different materials making such a

We must let ourselves go and the work itself will tell us about the intimacy of the collages that although
