Biography

Pompeyo Curbelo Martín is an award-winning Spanish painter, born in San Sebastián de la Gomera whose professional development at the artistic level has taken place in Vienna, Austria. His paintings are mainly influenced by impressionism, framed by a movement called art in its new dimension, which is an evolution of modern art and which involves a reflection of today's society. Pompey believes that art must continually evolve and cannot remain stagnant. His works are based on his insular origins and on the influence of the environment where he grew up, the Canary Islands, as well as on the concerns of today's society, exploring "any kind of concern", emphasizing the socioeconomic aspects of contemporary society. Emerging artist, his works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, arousing interest in Europe and recently in Argentina, the United States, Canada, and Japan. For Pompey, it is important that viewers draw their own conclusions from his art.

Artist Statement

Art makes me free, human, and supportive, it’s something that I carry inside me.

What first prompted you to think of becoming an artist?

We all have an artist within ourselves. We don´t become artists, we are born as artists, the most important thing is to have a gift that makes you different from the rest.

What kind of an artist do you ultimately see yourself?

I´m a contemporary painter who tries to express in paintings what he perceives and feels. I can´t see myself, it is you who could answer this question.

What are you hoping to communicate to the viewer through your work?

I don't expect anything from anyone. I only paint and the viewer draws their own conclusions.

Can you explain the process of creating your work?

The process of creating my work involves the observation of reality as I perceive it and the materialization of my feelings and ideas.

What is your favorite part of the creative process?

My favorite part of my creative process is the gestation of the creative idea and its materialization. This process makes me feel unique and singular and makes me feel satisfied with myself.

Can you give us an insight into current projects and inspiration, or what we can look forward to from you in the near future?

I only think about painting to get the best of me. Projects come alone and in that sense, I am a person open to everything.

The truth is that I don't expect anything from anyone, I just hope that people enjoy my painting, be original and that the viewer interprets and draws their own conclusions from it.
