The Author of Light The uniqueness of the space provided us with a soft blend perfectly ambient environment, a true reflection of reality with the abstract purest expression of feeling. Vicente Gimeno is an author who captures the moment a purely photographic artist, as intended to reflect a moment occurred, a well-defined point within the desired environment. Certainly remarkable, though the use of light and color. A clear taste for the capture of light refraction on all kinds of items and materials that comes combined with the positive use of tonality, well-focused use of color in the statement in all its vividness and its representation insatiable. This causes a set of harmonic means, cheerful and positive, full of life and energy, that please the viewer and make him lost in a sea of sensations. The development of his work and the longing to discover spaces led him to reflect not only folkloric contexts but also explores the wider environment figurative abstraction, such as asking for "something else", as if trying to overcome the barrier of reality necessarily in the search for new battlefields to discover. This search leads him to the media, the blurring of items to be subceptible idealized. The common denominator, emphasizing again the clarity and intensity, the contrast of planes in which we offer a clear conflict of chiaroscuro, a substantial stake in the solar reflection is essential. Gimeno develops, in short, a careful work, quality, and whose main characteristic is the use and light use. Francisco Arroyo Ceballos Plastic Artist / Independent Critical www.pintorvicentegimeno.es
