The Eurostars Regina (Seville) is presenting, through to 30 April, a show of work by the painter from Cordova, Jorge Espaliú, amongst which paintings such as the Colossus, Friendly Labyrinth, Awakenings, Paradise in liberty or Day of debts are to be highlighted.

This series of paintings demonstrates the artistic qualities of this young, multi-faceted Andalusian, who has worked in painting, photography and even sculpture. However, he himself says where he feels most comfortable is with painting and drawing, transformed by contemporary media such as digital design. Espaliú defines himself as someone in the process of exploring and learning. He assures that his work reflects the present-day expressive and lively aesthetics and, for this reason, gives great importance to the use of colour in his work.

Jorge Espaliú’s artistic talent has received recognition in various cities inside and outside Spain. He has displayed his work in exhibitions in different categories, such as the Can Can painting show in Cordova in 1997; Sculpture 2 in Cuenca in 2001; the multi-faceted Nocturnes in Cordova in 2002, with oils, drawings, engravings and photographs; Menu 2 in Switzerland in 2003 with pupils from the prestigious Gestalt school, or Digital diving into the plastic arts in 2005. During 2006, he was invited to participate as a photographer in the magazine Andalocio, presenting 28photographs for 28 days and he also presented Poems in Cordova. In January 2007 he displayed his work in the restaurant Bouchon and in the Córdoba Center in Cordova. Some of these exhibitions have won well-earned mentions in the media, for example, Diario Córdoba, Localia TV or Radio 3.
