Sala 4

Hall 4 of the museum is dedicated to a new generation of artists that keeps the tradition of local art alive. Among still lifes, landscapes, and diverse compositions, the painter from Los Santos, Estrella Apolo, stands out, recognized for the meticulous realism with which she represents laces and trimmings in her works. She is a self-taught artist. Her interest in painting dates back to childhood, although her artistic trajectory began casually, when helping her daughter with schoolwork. Since then, she has been consolidating her presence in the world of art and is part of several associations, such as A.D.A.F.A., Association of Aragonese Figurative Artists, with which she has participated in numerous exhibitions and cultural exchanges. Always in search of new materials and approaches, she has converted compositions with fabrics into a distinctive stamp, inspired by the traditional embroideries that so many women from Los Santos made in their youth. Her production focuses on oil, although she also experiments with other techniques, such as sanguine drawing.

Another of the artists present in this space is Emilio Gordillo, born in Los Santos in 1947. From very early on, he conceived painting as an essential form of expression, which led him to obtain diverse recognitions in artistic contests. His stays in Germany and Barcelona contributed to enhancing his creativity. Although he received basic training from Professor Romero Muñoz, he considers himself a self-taught painter, perfecting his technique through constant practice and developing a style of his own, strongly realistic. In his canvases, he captures scenes and corners of everyday life, characterized by a vibrant coloring. His still lifes and country landscapes, of which we find examples in this hall, especially stand out.

At the other end of the hall, works by Luis Follarat, Luis Rico, and Miguel González are also exhibited, which contribute a selection of drawings made with the pastel technique to the collection.
