\"\"<\/a>But, <\/span><\/span>are these alleys like this? Do they e<\/span><\/span>xist? Yes, in the oldest neighborhoods of the towns.

He is a figurative painter (…), but in all these things he finds representations of persons, representations of feelings, representations of circumstances<\/span><\/span>\u00bb<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00ab<\/span><\/span>What he doing<\/span><\/span> is not to represent<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> but to paint: painting is different from representing. <\/span><\/span>The painter<\/span><\/span> explains a new way of looking at things<\/span><\/span>. When we are standing<\/span><\/span> in <\/span><\/span>front of his work, the painter is telling us: <\/span><\/span>\u2014<\/span><\/span>Think about it, meditate, and above all, you can feel… Painting is in the feeling<\/span><\/span>s\u00bb (<\/span><\/span>Josep M.<\/span><\/span> Cadena<\/span><\/span>).<\/span><\/span>

\"\"<\/a>The artist’s testimony was clear when <\/span><\/span>he was <\/span><\/span>asked whether the painting had <\/span><\/span>been <\/span><\/span>done outside <\/span><\/span>\u2014<\/span><\/span>in the street<\/span><\/span>\u2014 or in the studio. <\/span><\/span>\u00ab<\/span><\/span>In <\/span><\/span>the studio<\/span><\/span>!<\/span><\/span> I go down the street and I <\/span><\/span>look<\/span><\/span> around and back i<\/span><\/span>n the studio <\/span><\/span>I <\/span><\/span>interpret<\/span><\/span> what I have seen<\/span><\/span>.

\"\"<\/a>But o<\/span><\/span>n this occasion<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Tom\u00e0s<\/span><\/span> Su\u00f1ol<\/span><\/span> surprised us by bringing <\/span><\/span>in <\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>new<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span> theme.

Here <\/span><\/span>there <\/span><\/span>is a tot<\/span><\/span>ally different thing: there is a joy,<\/span><\/span> a <\/span><\/span>satisfaction, a manifestation of nature. Here there is <\/span><\/span>also <\/span><\/span>an introspection<\/span><\/span> on human life: through the <\/span><\/span>dining table.
