Free Picasso and Sorolla exhibition opens in Estepona

Art fans have free access to sixty paintings and sculptures from a private collection at the Mirador del Carmen in Estepona. The show titled Masters of Light and Form from the Intimate to the Public is open until August 14.

Featured painters in the collection

Pablo Picasso features heavily with several key paintings in the selection. Antonio Saura adds pieces full of intense expression. Antoni Tapies explores matter and silence in his compositions. Miquel Barcelo conveys a sense of contemporary freedom. Rafael Zabaleta reveals his own singular universe through his canvases.

Domingo Zapata brings cosmopolitan energy. Diego Rivera focuses on narrative strength and human elements. Javier Mariscal contributes his unmistakable creativity. Joaquin Sorolla captures Mediterranean beach light with breathtaking delicacy. Rafael Alberti presents poetic avant-garde ideas full of symbolism, colour and creative liberty.

Additional painters such as Balthus, Arantxa Iriarte, Vladimir Ksieski, Manuel Angeles Ortiz, Amalia Pelaez, Ruma, Josep Maria Riera i Arago, and M Valdes complete the painter roster.

Sculptures from different eras

Sculptural contributions come from historic Spanish schools. Andalucian School examples date to the seventeenth century. Spanish School pieces originate in the eighteenth century. Aragonese Gothic School works go back as far as the fourteenth century. Colonial School items also appear. Sculptor Jose de Mora adds works of profound religious drama and emotional realism.

Practical information for visitors

Free entry applies every day until the closing date of fourteen August. All sixty works occupy the Sala Expositiva at Centro Cultural Mirador del Carmen in Estepona.

This presentation comes from a desire by the collection’s owner to share an intimate collection created with passion, sensitivity and love for art. Viewers receive an exceptional opportunity to see pieces never previously shown together. The experience permits a journey through different periods, styles and ways of understanding the world. Established masters appear next to more contemporary views.
