Depiste initially ‘training’ as a painter it’s not that often these days I come across paintings that really tickle my fancy. These works by Yago Hortal however really caught my eye. He’s a Spanish painter currently working out of Berlin. I suppose it’s the strong colours combined with the fluidity and viscosity of the paint that attracted me.

The artist doesn’t give much away on his website regarding the context, inspiration, etc. that forms the basis for these works which is a shame because I’d really like to know that there is something deeper to them than a search for a particular aesthetic goal.
