The Art of Paco
Yuste de Monreal
Biography
Paco Martínez Yuste Monreal was born in Valencia in 1958. From his
childhood he felt great predilection for the drawing. In fact
drawing was his favourite pastime. When hi was 12 years old his
parents move to Brussels, and he joins an internal college where his
artistic interests for the drawing and for the music wakes up. In
this period hi passes most of his free time drawing.
At the age of 17 years he is employed at his parents’ shop. His
artistic interests persists and to satisfy them the same year joins
the Academy of Fine Arts, where he starts studying by night
illustration. Since he was undecided between the drawing and the
music, after studying one year fine arts, he begins to study music.
After studying music four years he returns to the Academy of Fine
Arts to study illustration and design.
In 1988 he returns to Spain. Two years later he begins to work as
freelance illustrator and graphic designer. Later he specializes
itself in doing murals of great format (18m. x 5m.). Also he paints
portraits. Though the oil painting had used it in the beginning,
when he was student, he principally used acrylics, inks and liquid
water-colours. Nevertheless from 1998 he begins to paint with a
mixed technique which consists of painting the base with acrylic of
quick drying and to end the painting in oil. This technique has
certain advantages, since initially it is not necessary to wait
until the painting dries; in addition it is a good base for the oil
painting.
His works include topics as flowers, crystals, still life and
figure. Many of his works are in private collections in Spain,
England, Belgium, France, Russia, China and The United States.
