Torrecillas Yann | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Made up of many details that are brightly coloured, Yann's paintings offer an interpretation of the world and of bodies that combines vitality and optimism. Yann is very much attached to the cultural world in which he lives and does his work in a collective workshop where he feeds his skills with the knowledge others share with him. He has been exploring the theme of the portrait for a long time and is always looking for a way to capture the entire pallet of emotions one can glean by attentively observing a face. He paints his characters based on photographs he has taken or found and they are filled with a kind of energy that is born of the artist's need to interact with his works. The artist always approaches his subject with instinct and passion and places emotion at the heart of his practice.
