About this artwork
In this work, the smile and the lie intertwine like a single, learned gesture. The almost empty canvas functions as a silent interrogation where two confessional phrases are repeated until they become an echo: I lied every time I smiled / I smiled every time I lied. There is no ornamentation; only the weight of what was said and what was left unsaid.

Víctor Portillo is a self-taught painter specializing in oil paint, with exhibition experience in local galleries and fairs. He works with a mix of materials, applying layers of concealment and revelation, combining realism with brushstrokes that distort and cover his spectral figures. His works integrate deliberate imperfections, jagged edges, and symbols into compositions that invite contemplation. Through his paintings, he seeks to convey the fragility of identity, silence, and the mystery of time, generating a profound sense of introspection and emotional refuge.
