Felanitx, Majorca, 1946
What is the artist's secret?
I would say that the key to his art has to do with his infinite capacity to look, to look so intensely at things that, in the end, they seem to be enveloped in a metaphysical aura - and often give off dramatic echoes that appear to us like a voice-over. He has painted vines that speak to us of the tragedy of uprooting, crossing from beginning to end a whole life. Rotting fruit that allude to the passage of time (without the high-flown allusions that try to hide the clichés of the branch); and close to the bunches of grapes for the table or for the wine, the stems appear, with the same nobility as their own past of flavours and aromas.
Andreu Maimó: the clarity of his gaze poeticizes everything. On canvas, in ceramics, in sculpture, in graphic work - truly worthy of being contemplated and collected - the artist's world unfolds in a tense stillness, in an atmosphere in which all things are flooded by his light and serenely pulsate.
