Torrex
(Ruben Torres Alonso, Cascante, 1992)
Torrex is a Spanish painter raised in the rural and semi-desert landscape of southern Navarra, a place he remains deeply connected.
Currently, he is fully focused on creating original, physical and timeless paintings, conceived for collectors who value depth, authenticity and presence.
His large-scale oil paintings use light as both structure and narrative element, exploring material and gesture as essential tools of the pictorial language. The land, the silence, and the presence of abandoned spaces run through his visual and conceptual imagery.
His painting engages in dialogue with the Spanish Baroque tradition, with references such as Velázquez, El Greco and Ribera, reinterpreted through a contemporary perspective that seeks a pictorial truth rooted in observation and craftsmanship.
After beginning his studies in Fine Arts, he chose to deepen his training in fundamentals of classical art at Atelier Madrid under mentorship of masters Arantzazu Martínez and Mikel Olazábal. Concurrently he complemented his studies in Concept art, integrating traditional techniques with contemporary digital processes.
His paintings have been exhibited in galleries, cultural centers, and art fairs in cities such as Pamplona, San Sebastián, Málaga, and Cascante. He has also contributed as a concept designer (ArtStation) in the entertainment industry for several years.
His work is available to private collectors worldwide, directly from the studio.
