Picasso is one of the most famous and recognized Spanish painters in the world. Just mention his name and everyone associates him with painting. In the art world we are used to hearing, Picasso or Pablo Picasso, but was that really the name of the painter?

Last summer, the Museum and Library of the Hispanic Society of New York in Upper Manhattan emerged from an extended period of renovation, arousing anticipation within the artistic community. However, something was notably different: none of its old master paintings were in sight. Many of these works, which had recently returned after participating in a traveling exhibition of the collection, were temporarily absent. However, the wait was worth it, as now a selection of these pieces, created by renowned artists such as El Greco, Diego Velázquez, and Francisco Goya, are on display in an exhibition titled ‘A Collection without Borders.’

At a time when diversity and innovation take center stage in the art world, American museums are leading the way by embarking on a journey to explore less conventional artistic movements and delve into the presentation of lesser-known creators. These prominent exhibitions depart from the tried-and-true masters and offer visitors a broader and more diverse view of contemporary artistic creativity.

Currently, the world of visual art is brimming with talent and creativity. There are numerous modern artists who are at the pinnacle of their careers, leaving an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene. Below, we will highlight some of the most influential and recognized artists today.

In the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Vienna, Austria, in front of the main altar, artist Enrique Fuentes presented his monumental work “La Resurrección” (The Resurrection). This work represents the 15th and final station of the Via Crucis. The canvas is a polyptych measuring 9 by 4 meters and was inaugurated on the first weekend of Advent. This masterpiece was displayed in the cathedral for the enjoyment of the entire community and for the benefit of art and culture.

“Beautiful, disturbing, and profound. That is how the painting of this Spanish artist, who exhibits in galleries and art fairs around the world, is described. He gives a twist to the portrait tradition with red images where he combines Renaissance rigor and mathematical perfection,” says American journalist Sandra Lodos about Salustiano’s work.

The prodigious 10-year-old painter, Andrés Valencia, is defying all expectations by selling his works for prices that exceed $100,000.

In an exciting development in the art world, works by noted Spanish master Conrado Díaz Ruiz have become in high demand in the city of Saarbrücken, Germany.

The contemporary art world has been captivated by the work of talented artist Ariam Pérez, whose canvas paintings have found a home in the heart of Europe, specifically in the majestic city of Prague.
