Spanish artist Alicia Grau Pérez-Agustín is an impressionist living painter who specializes in child and young women portraits. Born in Barcelona in 1955, she divides her working time between her hometown and Florence, Italy. Her style has been defined unmistakable by art critics for her excellent drawing technique, a measured use of pigments - through which the compact solidity of her textures causes her canvases take on a palpable sensation of volume - and the priming, the scraping and the thick layers of paints that she uses. Like realist painter Antonio Lopez Garcia, Alicia Grau Pérez-Agustín has succeeded in creating an artistic trend among the artists of her generation and her work is now spread throughout the world. During more than twenty years, she has held a great number of personal exhibitions in most European and US capitals, and her works are today included in private and public art collections.
