Mixed media on paper // Antonio Saura's Personaje (1998) is a mixed media work on paper that exemplifies his abstract and gestural approach to figuration. The central figure, represented in Saura’s signature style, appears to be sketched with expressive, black, and jagged lines, forming a distorted, almost mask-like face. Broad, sweeping brushstrokes in shades of black and gray encase the figure, creating a bold contrast against the lighter background. The chaotic arrangement of lines and shapes within the face suggests a deep emotional complexity, inviting the viewer to interpret the psychological tension inherent in the figure. This piece reflects Saura’s ongoing exploration of human identity, emotion, and the subconscious, all communicated through his raw, intense visual language.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
