For more than two decades, Toño Barreiro has been developing a work cross-disciplinary that alternates photography, painting, sculpture and digital processes.
The questioning of the limits of pictorial medium, using sculptural elements and the rupture of the traditional frame of painting, is a constant in his work.
During the last few years Toño Barreiro has started the ‘Flexia’ series with new methodologies and creative processes that lead to paintings sometimes sinuous and synesthetic, other geometric and at the same time organic.
In its origin we find the articulation of the line and the plane playing with the concepts of deconstruction, symbiosis, the reference to the most elementary biological processes, overlapping color fields or the folding of the surface.
With his latest project, he focuses on objects and their possible changes, turning the simplest reduction into a range of possible representations leading to a series of flexed, articulated and retractable plane works.
Since 2006 Toño is a professor in the Department of Painting at the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
