José Antonio Quintana combines painting with teaching. His beginnings in art are framed in graffiti and mural painting, but it is for about twelve years when he focuses on a more personal painting. Awarded with more than 50th national awards in recent years, he is a material painter, whose work stands out for the use of pigments different from the traditional ones, with which he interprets his own reality. His works go through different moments, starting from a controlled chaos that little by little the artist is ordering.

From the beginning his works depict figurative scenes as an excuse for the process, made through mixed techniques, with materials such as paper, soil, pigments, iron, silver, bronze, graphite or sand that help him to reflect a multitude of scenarios. The figuration in his art works has had a clear evolution towards simplification, seeking the longed-for “less is more”. All his paintings are full of details, glazes, transparencies and dynamic empties. His works are grouped into different series called ""Fields"".
