"Quietly,
without noises that distort their daily work, but with a mastery of
technique, both artists insist on show us the reality .
Reality
that we all see but a very few pay attention."

"EQUIPO
SUR" |
|
'Equipo
Sur' was born in 2001 of two painters' shared love of Realism. Justo
Navas and José Antonio Abeger Blanco are the two exceptional painters
who make up 'Equipo Sur' ("Southern Team"). They work
together on all phases of creating a painting, planning its execution,
preparing color palettes, even painting strokes on the canvas
together. The result is a classic composition with a plethora of
details, with a simple and clean glaze. The drawing is well executed,
and the painting almost photoreal. 'Equipo Sur' actively tries to
capture the divine in everyday life, using everyday objects to create
the poetry of the Old Masters' still life works.Justo Navas was born
in Madrid, Spain in 1969. His major influences include Velázquez,
Goya, Jasper Johns, Vermeer, Sorolla, Antonio López and Naranjo among
others, independently of their technique, style and period. José
Antonio Abeger Blanco was born in Quito, Ecuador in 1967. His greatest
influences are Vermeer, Jackson Pollock and the architect Mies Van der
Rohe. Both Navas and Abeger Blanco were academically trained in
drawing and painting at the School of Art in Madrid. They both also
studied lithography, printing and engraving techniques with Daniel Gil
Martin and Luis Cabrera Hernández at the Casa de la Moneda Foundation
in Madrid.
