About Tres Ases
Tres Ases artist (Almudena Angoso Alvarez) was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1989. Painting has been part of her life since her childhood as her grandma shared with her the love for painting when she was a little girl. She moved to Barcelona to study Art at the Barcelona University, but she left the degree to look for her own way as an artist. After four years she moved to Singapore and she started to develop her artistic career through portraits in which she was working for the next years. Her main subject is the human being represented in many different cultures, lives, and stories. Her paintings talk about our paradigms, dreams, fears, thoughts… as part of the experience of our soul in this reality that we called life. She works with mixed media (oil, acrylic, gesso textures and collage) looking to arrive to the limit of the expression through the realism, the language of colours and the textures. She established her first art studio in Menorca Island (Spain) for five years, where she was working on her artworks, participating in international art exhibitions and traveling to get new inspirations, to capture the soul of the world in her paintings. She has participated at international art events as Dakar Art Biennale 2018, Monaco International Art exhibition 2020, World Art Dubai 2020, 2021 and 2022, Florence Art Biennale 2021 and other private exhibitions with different art galleries. She moved to Dubai on January 2019, where she is living and working now on new and always updated artworks that follow her own life story. Anneke-1 tresasesartist.com

Artist Statement

I am an artist from spain currently living in dubai. I could say that painting has been part of my life since i have use of memory. My grandmother, artist on canvas and artist of life, got me the love of art since i was very young. And so it gave me the power to escape to other realities without moving from the chair. the work i have been dedicating for the past four years was born curiously from a moment in my life when i felt that the environment in which i found myself lacked soul. I looked for it in the streets, in the people, in a cold and unchanging day to day. and then one day i took back the brushes and began to emerge those gazes of other ethnicities and cultures, loaded with stories and lives. They appeared to fill my soul with my present, to ask questions, to disturb me, to provoke me and to continue creating characters that through a look they knew how to answer me. i work with oil painting, acrylic and gesso to create textures on the canvas. My priority is to transmit with the expression of my portraits through realism and the language of colors, that are big part of that expression that i look for, alive and vibrant, working with different techniques between oil and mixed technique. Although i have created different series, such as africanism (based on portraits of africa) anthropo morphosis (paradigms of the human being), the lightness of being (thoughts and feelings in relation with time) or holi day (colors and expressions of india) i over-titled all of them as'portraits of the soul', because in their variations they represent the expression of the individual as an ancestral and recondite part of human. an arab proverb says that anyone who does not understand a look will not understand a long explanation. Gaze is the window of the soul through which you can guess universes. And the eyes always speak when words are missing. my portraits are an invitation to the unique perception of each one, but if i intend something with them is to suggest something more than an inert face. To be looked at when looking and to forget about judgments for once, just letting go. allow yourself the luxury of feeling a soul, yours.
