The women with a saber

Art is a powerful tool to capture the world through our perception of it. Art Brut allows to do it with totally freedom of norms or rules of artistic education. Drawing techniques and combination of colors arise in the instinctive and natural way and follow the own criteria of the artist.

Nowadays it is difficult to stay totally isolated from the Art and Culture, our likes are influenced by trends and movements, but Artists of Art Brut manage to keep their particular and recognizable core.

This picture proves that.

The main character is a woman with a saber. This is the first layer of information. It is unusual way to represent a woman, she uses a weapon, probably because she has to protect her children.

The second layer of information is represented by decorative elements, like birds, flowers, a caterpillar, a spider, etc. Iñaki loves the nature, for this reason it is very present in his drawings.

The third layer of information is made up by words, numbers and symbols, not necessarily related to images. The author uses indistinctly words in Spanisn, Valencian end English. This tendency to occupy all space is known as “horror vacui”.

Iñaki is not afraid to use the pen, is not afraid to make mistakes. The lines are thin and stylized. The effect achieved only by two colors is impressive, but is possible, as this is not final version of this drawing. Often, after some time, Iñaki returns to the drawings to give them a touch of color.

Falsa tristezza_Фальшивая грусть

Questo quadro, realizzato nello stile Art Brut, cattura con la sua esecuzione ingenua ed espressiva. A prima vista può sembrare semplice, ma nelle sue linee si sente una profondità di emozioni. I contorni semplici ma espressivi del viso e delle mani creano una sensazione di tristezza e alienazione, e l'approccio minimalista amplifica questa impressione. Quest'opera sembra invitare lo spettatore a riflettere sulle emozioni e sui sentimenti mostrati che in realtà possono essere una recita per il pubblico.

Mírame después. (Pentagon_Пентагон)

In the artwork presented in Art Brut style, a distinctly unsettling atmosphere emerges, filled with unexplained visual noise. The face on the canvas is barely recognizable, as if it flickers between different realities, partially dissolving in a chaos of brushstrokes. The dominant colors — green, black, and pink — evoke tension and discomfort. Green and black spots, at times, resemble static lines, like an old TV screen when the signal wavers. The strokes are sharp, haphazard, creating a texture reminiscent of a blurred, distorted image, as if someone were trying to see through layers of noise. This effect heightens the feeling of a “blurring” of reality, where the line between the viewer’s world and the figure’s world fades and vanishes. The face seems incomplete, as if these strange waves of color are consuming it, and it’s on the brink of disappearing. The painting seems to capture a moment when someone finds themselves in a glitch zone, losing orientation, balance, and connec...
