Mixed media surrealist mixed media painting; signed and attr. Augustin Ubeda (Spanish, 1925-2007); 18.5 x 26.5 inch (46.34 x 67.31 cm). Established Spanish painter and graphic artist Agustin Ubeda worked in a style full of lyricism, sensuality and irony, in which one can see the influence of Goya, of whom he was a self-proclaimed admirer. Convinced that painting is both aesthetic and intellectual, Ubeda created artwork in a style that was unquestionably his, created with enjoyment and passion, at the edge of the trends in contemporary Spanish art, within which he stands out. Ubeda was trained at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, Spain, and was granted a scholarship from the French Institute in Madrid that he used to travel to Paris, where he was profoundly influenced by Marc Chagall. He returned to Spain and worked as a professor at his former school, the Escuela de San Fernando, where, until 1980, he was a professor in the Fine Arts department, becoming chair in 1987. Ubeda’s work can be found in the Museums and Collections of Madrid Contemporary Art, San Diego (California), the City of Paris, of the City of Geneva, Oklahoma Home Centre and Angels, among other museums.
