Francisco Pou's Abstract Paintings Explored in Barcelona Exhibition

Francisco Pou, an abstract expressionist painter with a background in audiovisual media, recently presented his work in the exhibition 'Emergens' at the Real Monasterio de Santa Isabel in Barcelona. His paintings, such as 'Adagietto' and 'Resurrección' inspired by Mahler, and 'Barcelona Rumba' and 'Allegro', are described as visual symphonies capturing the sound of colors through synesthesia. Pou's painting 'Luz del Mundo' was gifted to Pope Leo XIV during his visit to Spain. Pou has won an Emmy for Best News Series for NBC in 1998 and was nominated for a Goya as producer of the documentary 'The Sleeper. El Caravaggio perdido' directed by Álvaro Longoria. His artistic vocabulary is a personal abstract expressionism with strong material presence in some series, aiming for transcendence and emotional impact, echoing Mark Rothko's pursuit of religious experience through art.
