Federico Aguilar Alcuaz (1932-2011), a Filipino-Spanish abstract artist, made significant contributions to visual arts. Born in the Philippines but based in Spain, he gained recognition for his Cubism-inspired work. His oeuvre featured nude figures, interiors, still lifes, and landscapes characterized by blurred contours juxtaposed with bold lines, creating dynamic compositions that lingered in viewers’ minds. Alcuaz’s abstract style, utilizing vibrant colors and geometric shapes across oil, watercolor, and mixed media, reflected his interest in modernism and abstract expressionism. His landscapes, renowned for striking color palettes and geometric elements, showcased his ability to transform mundane subjects into abstract representations, earning him acclaim in artistic circles. |
