Gus Fine Art
Born: 1971
Hometown: Castropol, Asturias
Based in: Spain
Contemporary and Visual Artist, Gus's artwork is an attempt to communicate your artistic dreams into a visual language forever. He lives in your "Dreamland" constantly.
With a variety of photographic techniques, especially multiple exposures, photocomposition and Matte Painting, Gus takes us on a magical journey to the depths of his imagination. Using an ancient natural technique, mixed with today's photographs, his images are composed of multiple layers, carefully executed and visually delightful. Soft touches of colour give his creations a dreamlike atmosphere. He often incorporates people in his works, as he considers human beings to be a fundamental part of our environment. These ethereal themes seem to vanish into thin air in front of the viewer's eye. Endowed with a thoughtful and contemplative aura, standing before one of his works is like a meditation. His Creative Editions do not leave you indifferent, contemplating them is like entering a dream, letting yourself go and enjoying a world of magic and illusion.
After more than 20 years dedicated to photography and the Creative Edition, in 2018 he decided to start sharing his work. Since then, he has had an upward trajectory and has received worldwide recognition. He has been selected by Photographize as one of their "Featured Artist", he is also "Featured Artist" in "Cercle Foundation for the arts" and in the prestigious "International Black and White Photography Association" (IBWPA).
He has been published in several magazines, including Photographize Magazine, Photographize Monochrome, Shades of Grey, EYE Photomagazine, El Hurgador [Art on the Net], Dodho Magazine, Carrete Digital, Potassium K, JaamZin Magazine,Photo&Technique magazine,Tagrre.de Magazine, etc
His work has been recognized and awarded in prestigious international competitions such as IPA, MIFA, PX3 Prix de la photographie Paris, ND Awards, ND Monochrome Awards, FAPA, Monovisions Photography Awards, Spider Awards, International Color Awards, One Eyeland Photography Awards, among many others.
In just two years he has been awarded more than 80 prestigious international prizes including the Absolute Winner in the prestigious "Juan Antonio Sequi" competition, in the city of Tarancón in Spain.
Some of his works are already part of private collections and Contemporary Art Museums in the permanent exhibition.
He has also been invited to participate in numerous international exhibitions in recent years, in which he is a regular participant. His works have been exhibited in Spain (Cuenca, Madrid, Barcelona), Italy (Rome, Milan, Florence), France (Paris, Lyon or Arles), Romania, Greece, England (London), San Francisco or New York.

More About Gus Fine Art
What inspires you?
My dreams, my illusions, nature, readings any time of the day or night can bring an idea to my mind and try to "catch" it in a work forever.
Describe your creative process.
It almost always starts from a conceived idea, sometimes it runs around in my head for days or even weeks. Other times, a simple moment in my life leads me to take images with my camera and then try to reproduce that illusion. I tend to take a lot of notes and sketches so that I don't forget those ideas, because others may come more unexpectedly and I don't want to miss any of them.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?
Illusion, dreams and letting your imagination fly with me
Who are some artists that have influenced your work?
In the beginning, I saw many photographs and works of art by many artists, perhaps now I am more influenced by my mind, my readings or my daily life and my feelings. I still love the work of Dali, Picasso, Van Gogh and great illustrators of today, curiously I am more influenced by the works of illustrators or painters than by contemporary photographers, it is always a challenge to create with my camera and imagination my works.
What is the most important tool when creating your work?
In this order, without doubt, my mind, my dreams and my illusions. Then, my creative process
What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
Be yourself, be patient and don't look back, the future is full of life and illusions for you. This phrase was said to me a short time ago by a great friend of mine.
Where do you go for inspiration?
In any place, I have always said that inspiration is not sought, it comes by itself. I can be sitting in my living room at home and suddenly an idea comes to me and I have to take notes, I have never considered going in search of inspiration, I let my mind "fly and dream", inspiration will come when I least expect it.
