Olimpia Peco: Still Life,

His still lifes are unusual because they are not conventional, not by subject or by developing the idea.
Indeed, it is as poetic fragments that refer to internal conceived as a collage, fragments of different lives, in which women and children, the world of
childlike innocence and youth, predominate.
Vases, icons, books, videos, decorative items, furniture, all marked by the color, the emergence of tonal contrasts that with the expressive power of
chromaticism communicates the varied idiosyncrasies what it says.
Harmony, spiritual quest, sensuality, fragile life, tenderness, love, words and concepts that describe situations through objects, which are not by

The first assessment which facilitates the contemplation of the painting of Olimpia Peco, is that

decidedly contrary to those of
fi aesthetic configurations established on the various aspects of

Olimpia Peco's painting is not the
fi delity and formal virtuosity of the images, but the connotations
symbolic and emotions that contains or contains his work.
His painting is very unique, very personal, in which the "Fauvism" and "expressionism" acquire a
rhythm, vibration, lyrical magic.
Olimpia Peco's painting is seen and felt in all its dimensions, in its depth, even in its most
clear and

Still lifes

academically not interpret still life, try to be a "picture-still life, painting in the wild,
a composition in which the objects interpreted, are a pretext decorative. Within the still lifes
where there is a series of different objects, the protagonist is a classic shawl.
This, usually in large formats.

As for the difficult art of portraiture, Olympia, has the perfect tool, which is drawing to express
everything. To portray it. His portraits have a depth of psychological portrait, but loaded
sensitivity and resolved with a simple and strictly pictorial language.
Olimpia Peco Mayor, in his work conveys a special force has undoubtedly Canary potence.

Art is the sincerity, the natural, one is, the personality, and will not condition the artist
for the good observer or critic, which denote their training. We have therefore seen the
Olimpia Peco work like this should be noted immediately: the fact that the painter has followed
training for academic use, as is habit in the School of Applied Arts and O
fi services
Art, so we call them with all the sintomátca curriculum now says, in which the
study
fi Figure of lights and shadows, its effects, proportions and measurements, the
backgrounds and perspectives, the study of colors, complementary mixtures and in short,
the kitchen, are repeated again and again, patient, convicted, in a sense, the record is conducive
from wisdom and knowledge leads to the creation. Olimpia Peco has formed as well, such is the painter,
we ingratiate ourselves with the process and outcome.
The art of painting has been provided, revolutions, especially denoted in their time,
others discovered in the passing of it, but not all artists seek to revolutionize the art
and for others the greatest revolution, artistic, paint the truth is, debugging technique in the family, and
the observer and critic loves it.
We are thus in undeniable value of communication. These are with this speech, our findings
before the work running Olimpia Peco.
The framework that encapsulates the artist's work and what informs the "meditation framework" proposed
Ortega teacher. The lesson learned what defines a family vocation and intimate, the
dedication to the interior iconography, with some baroque rhetoric or to the environment and background

from the thick lines are accentuated by the use decorativizan thunderous color. Olimpia Peco
has a apparent sensitivity at work, in the constant and the wisdom of the transparencies.

creation. The most extraordinary thing about this painter is that his creations are authentic creation, since
that does not use models and theory that I hold is because he does not create copies, it remains true
which is pure illusion. Also surprising is the carefree and easy technique. Joyful painter
in color with a very personal interpretations that can build, with a Néstor de la Torre

The great French writer Victor Hugo wrote in a day success, "a poet is a world closed
a man "can also write that there are poets who write poems but not to the feathers
with brushes, poems l painted on canvas for a few painters who give us all a wealth of
deep feelings, and this is the case of Olimpia Peco, it gives us a whole inner world
accompanies the vital moments in the everyday ups and downs that they uplift the ideals and transfer
any barrier that immerses the person in the bland and dull existence.
Sensitive paint, clear, balanced and peaceful painting intimate and at the same time open and communicative
the calm and temperance that breaks monotony, anxiety, scorn ye misunderstanding. Painting
Olympia is positive, unrelated to the bitter and sad life. The paintings of artist lead us
a real world, illuminated by the light of the joy of positive living. Olimpia's painting is Peco
becomes e
fi caz balm to evoke happy moments.
With full mastery of drawing purifies clean colors to spice a few moments, giving
the appropriate magnitude to the everyday, Olimpia Painting has a special charm which no missing
231f20 "> language of

MANUEL PÉREZ RODRÍGUEZ
(Dean of the Faculty of Law, Las Palmas de Gran Canarias. Art Critic)
231f20 "> Olimpia Peco, was formed as a painter in his native Madrid and Cordoba. As I understand it, the unmistakable
maturity of his work, as varied in their views and approaches as a unitary conception of
approaches, by the thousand variants that support the glazing, which, due to moisture
oily matter, can be achieved spontaneously improvised. The tables are well lit,
on most, transcends, therefore, the beauty of the natural mindfulness. These compositions
ever built in advance, but emerged to the sound of improvised strokes. Beauty
of spontaneity, I insist that for me is the bedrock of the painting of Olympia.
Spontaneity of deriving the capacity of conciseness of his pictorial language, that in other terms,
the power to make the always difficult synthesis of line, color and light. Clean lines (domain
the drawing), pure and bright colors that do not exclude the presence, in certain cases
subdued light with soft transparencies. And if the color is, I have no choice but to attribute to
Olimpia a very close relationship to the painters attached to the motion "Fauve" because like
they, especially Matisse, with
fi n to produce a purely visual satisfaction
through the perception of the painting, makes color its almost unique character. They, the Fauves
fabric removed any element that was not pure color, to understand that the vividness
depended upon the colorful which was the goal of his artistic mission: the expression of an authentic
"Joie de vivre." And I think to achieve this goal also aims Olympia when he paints, and
poetics as those built based on Van Gogh and Gaugin and knowledge of
Oriental art, Persian ceramics, fabrics and woods Moorish intended Olympia to Japan
under their bright palette, contrasting and, at the same time harmonious.
And of those painters also inherit the repetition seems Olimpia interior with
fl and pray still life, striking carpets, shawls and in
fi community elements that make up the
home privacy surrounding their models, intimacy is accentuated in the series of female nudes.
And because
fi human figure, always viewed from this perspective, is strongly
this in his speech argument, Olimpia's painting could be considered in a more
essential, as the creation of human landscape as it also all genres of painting
feed on this motivation. So often turn to large box, you need
Times New Roman; color: 231f20 "> to shape the human landscape to which I am re
fi laughing, the only valid argument that
Olympia is served when the man looks around him. It is the human landscape, I repeat, that
inspires and motivates you.

Olimpia's painting is intimate, delicate and tender. The themes of his paintings on canvas are the people and
the objects of their family, always children or adolescents, or restaurants where they reach the

color: 231f20 "> Olimpia Peco's paintings are inherited from the explosion of color that occurs with European art

This language appears highlighted in his book "The Sea" which is the part of larger symbolic
exposure and engaged by a climate "

But along with this content that we also speak of an intimate, serene living space

the story itself of each piece, offering a world of fantasy and intense artistic proposals.
ALFREDO HERRERA PIQUÉ
Writer, Art Critic.
Olimpia Peco Mayor is an excellent painter that I have the pleasure of discovering these days ... say in
These days they need to go step by step, its essential features and how to present and feel, that feeling
each time, says of herself: "My criticism on my painting conceptually
fi Gurat
I am looking for an experience to issues that take me to achieve the desired effect, leading to instantaneous
symbolic or life itself, combining the colors I'm summoning to create the picture
I want to say "
So that the work meets widely seen here with the announced participants in really making
those moments yet allows us to roam about the environment and the soul evoked: Infanta Margarita
Remember, the shawls, rest, I'm ... Almonedas, Colors ... where a fluent stroke
excellent color and texture, only with the
Roman; color: 231f20 "> fi definitions using the necessary details to avoid
Reading misleading or detract from the instant sensations, thus combining Olimpia
work perfectly with the title deeds as giving
fi color: 231f20 "> dedignas that call us to contemplate and
again, or be part of that experience.
So we see in the play "I'm ..." he speaks of a very precise moment with few elements, a
crucial moment for anyone ...
"Me voy" speaks of a moment of light, clarity ... to awaken, his hair even without ordering, covering
the body with one of those shawls Córdoba both appreciated and used. She star
and slips from the sheets into a seamless cloak and simply expressed and
no doubt ...! I am ...!
Is one, I am leaving in rather loud soliloquy, is aimed at someone, a someone who stopped being something
important to her ... did not need the shadows to say goodbye and less to run, all this is
made with few elements and large spaces modulated just enough to say what is necessary to
clearly and forcefully, for the avoidance of doubt.
Olimpia weaves each work without fatigue but with incredible accuracy to re
fl ect moments and emotions.
Nothing is left to chance. It remains that we meet with their pictures to read and enjoy
widely.
Congratulations Mayor Olimpia Peco
