Secundino Hernández

Secundino Hernández is a Spanish Postwar & Contemporary painter who was born in 1975. He employs a dynamic mix of oil, gouache, and acrylic paints to produce artworks that merge both abstract and figurative elements. The works draw inspiration from the techniques of Action Painting and the Old Masters, with a particular emphasis on Spanish artists such as Velázquez and El Greco. Hernández executes his paintings with a methodical approach, utilizing brushes or paint directly from the tube to create energetic lines and marks, before washing and scraping the surface of the canvas. This process results in compositions that exhibit both order and explosiveness. The artist describes his technique as a deliberate and meticulous exploration of aesthetic languages, producing a contemporary take on established artistic movements.
