Rosa Torres Biography
Valencia, Spain, 1948 ?
An established Spanish painter and printmaker from Valencia, Rosa Torres uses bold LANDSCAPES as her preferred subject.
Her work has evolved over the years, abandoning anecdotal elements in favour of broad, gestural brushstrokes and planes of strong colour. Her ABSTRACT style and GEOMETRIC compositions succeed in conveying a rich sense of place. She has exhibited widely and worked as a studio painter with the prestigious Spanish artist group, ?Equipo Cronica?.
