Juan Genovés is a Spanish artist born in Valencia in 1930, known for his figurative painting and his political and social commitment. Throughout his career, Genovés has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts (1985) and the National Prize for Plastic Arts (2008). His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world and is part of prestigious public and private collections. Juan Genovés's artistic style is characterized by the creation of large-format figurative works, in which he uses a very personal technique of applying color through small brushstrokes that combine to form an overall image. In his work, Genovés addresses themes such as war, oppression, and the fight for freedom, capturing scenes of demonstrations, rallies, and riots that reflect his political and social commitment. One of Genovés's most iconic works is "El Abrazo," a painting depicting a group of people embracing in the midst of a demonstration, symbolizing solidarity and mutual support in the face of oppression. This work has become a symbol of the struggle for freedom and human rights and has been reproduced in numerous contexts and media, from posters and T-shirts to murals and sculptures. Juan Genovés's work is considered an important reference in 20th-century Spanish painting and has been the subject of study and analysis by critics and art experts. His social and political commitment and his ability to capture social reality in his work have made him one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century in Spain.
