JOAQUIN MOLINA

Joaquin Molina, offers in his sculptures the most possible sensitive approach to a world which may seem unkind, that of the bodybuilders. His bronzes shape lush bodies, muscled until exhaustion.

Takes a unique approach to the bullfighting from his philosophy of life, bodybuilding, and with an unmistakable label, like the obese, plump and happy view in Bottero´s world. His paintings put a hyper-muscular bullfighter in mid-agony and gloomy atmosphere enhancing his tremendous sense of loneliness. Made with oil technique, “Bullfighter Nude I” and “Bullfighter Nude II”, are surprising due to the provocative nudity of its abundant muscles and astonished look, of that who does not see anything or anyone except the bull. In “Bullfighter I” and “Bullfighter II”, of mixed techniques, he hardens even more the point of view, a threshold approach, revealing the sculptural passion of the author and his particular skills of sculpting details of the bullfighter’s costume.
