Paco Dalmau's pictorial practice explores the interplay of color and depth perception as a method of producing abstract expressive work. The selection of a chromatic range is the starting point towards this dialogue, where the erosion of the material, the glazes and the blurring of the color, manages to incorporate into each painting a distance between layers and values, which provides a feeling of depth, mysticism and spirituality. Introspection, motivation, self-awareness and the way of perceiving his relationship with the world are important subjects for Paco Dalmau. With these ingredients, Dalmau makes the exercise to internalize his sensations and emotions in order to carry out this experimentation on the canvases. Since 2012 he lives and works in Rotterdam (NL), where the conceptual and methodological influences of the Dutch artistic culture have permeated his artistic practice. This cultural miscegenation defines the current work of the Valencian artist, where passion, method and concept converge in his creative proposal.

Evolution series 2021-2022
Evolution series seeks to explore the interplay of color and depth perception as a method of producing abstract, expressive work. The objective of these paintings is to create images of organic shapes, paintings that seem simply born by themselves, where the artist's action becomes almost invisible. The erosion of the material, the glazes and the blurring of the color, manages to incorporate into each painting a distance between layers and values, which provides a feeling of depth, mysticism, an

Paco Dalmau. White Wall Project
Paco Dalmau will close his White Wall Project, for which he won the Waterweg Cultuurprijs 2017, at the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. This summer more than 1000 people from Maassluis, Vlaardingen and Schiedam painted an 800 meter long canvas in the Schiedam Beatrix Park. Paco chose the most beautiful parts of it for this exhibition. The exhibition is free of charge.
