About this artwork
The artist says that the painting is a portrait of a man who got on a train. and someone called him Shankara. Later he read that the name Shankara is a way of naming Shiva, and also the name of an important philosopher. but the artist tells that he did not paint a philosopher, nor the representation of shiva. I only paint a man who was boarding a train, with kind eyes.
The mixed technique used by the artist, with a newspaper base that chronologically… delimits the characters at a precise time and fixes them in a lived reality, together with the colors used, in the work, the prominence of earth colors, declaration of a earthly humanity. The game with the classical technique of the dark light. Enhancing contrasts between lights and shadows, creating volumes that highlight important elements of the painting. They manage to create a dramatic effect, which creates an empathy between the viewer and the main character of the painting.

« Art is not food for the fiscal body. It is a food for the sensitivity and the intellect. »
Spanish painter Lluis Clar has shown work in solo and group exhibitions across Europe. Working on canvas or wood, Clar applies oil paints mixed with newspaper to give it an aged look. Interested in exploring human beings, Clar works to make abstract and specific images to represent the totality of his subjects' existence through a single image. Clar's portraiture features penetrating gazes, exquisite textural details and displays both depth and intensity.
