Rafa Forteza is one of the most significant artists for understanding the course of painting in Spain over recent decades.

In his most recent works Rafa Forteza starts from a Babel-like cry of colour, yet the sense of the abyss is the same as in his quieter, chromatically more austere works that defined his 1990s. Much like the jazz that constantly fills his studio with another symbiotic harmony, it is a rhythmic, musical, harmonious abyss.
