HUMAN ARCHITECTURES/ temple of art
José Antonio Suárez López. Born in Marchena, Seville, Spain in 1971, Began painting in 1989 as a self-taught artist. Over time, I further developed my skills by studying at several private art academies, with the most significant influence being the school of Macarena García. What made this academy unique was not just the technical training in enhancing artistic skills but, more importantly, Macarena García’s personal approach to revealing unknown aspects of the human soul through painting. Her teaching emphasized the use of symbolic, archetypal, and lesser-known imagery, transforming painting into a method of exploring the depths of the human psyche.
My most recent major exhibition was titled «Geo Arte,» which combined art with the planet Earth. This exhibition was showcased between 2011 and 2013 in various exhibition halls across Andalusia. Notably, it was presented in the Sierra de Huelva in collaboration with the Valdelarte Center for Art and Nature and in several exhibition spaces of Canal Sur Radio y Televisión de Andalucía in different cities. The most intriguing aspect of this art style is its ability to connect with other artists who are exploring similar themes. My paintings merge the visual impact of NASA photographs, which possess great artistic potential, with various pictorial perspectives. All of these works reference the importance of conserving the planet, the necessity of reducing the effects and impacts of pollution, and the urgency of appreciating the Earth’s beauty before it is too late.

El proyecto Arquitecturas Humanas es producto de una investigación histórica y documental en archivos históricos sobre la religiosidad popular. Estas investigaciones han dado como resultado una serie de imágenes que pretenden ser un reflejo del anhelo y la búsqueda espiritual del hombre contemporáneo. Si Geoarte, mi última exposición que recorrió gran parte de Andalucía en 2012 -gracias a RTVA y Centro Valdelarte, Arte y Nature- hablaba del hombre en relación con el hombre y el medio ambiente, Arquitecturas Humanas habla de la necesaria reconstrucción del ser humano, tras la pandemia .
Cuantas personas de gran intelecto no tienen alma. Templos vacíos, tumbas encaladas, eruditos metódicos, artistas, gobernantes o caudillos que dejan indiferentes, sin sabiduría, sin alma, incluso utilizan su poder para hacer daño.
Por eso, en mis cuadros de la serie de arquitecturas humanas, los hombres tienen una puerta debajo del pecho. Ella le da la manzana que es deseo y que abre la puerta dentro del cuerpo que da acceso al templo interior, el templo olvidado.
Para entrar ambos deben transmutar la energía, convertir las necesidades más básicas en algo superior como los arcos de los templos abandonados se elevan hacia el cielo.
El hombre de hoy utiliza el cuerpo como un pozo sin fondo para llenar un anhelo que no sabe definir ni identificar, y se frustra cuando se da cuenta de que eso sólo lo empobrece.
Quien abraza el dinero como un nuevo credo, no ve la necesidad del arte, la belleza y los objetos culturales porque cree cumplir sus anhelos más íntimos con una tarjeta de crédito, aunque para lograrlo se haya convertido en un ser infrahumano: robo, engaño, violencia. , abandono, familias rotas.
Templos en ruinas. La cultura, el arte sirve al alma humana para enriquecerse. La misma pintura o escultura como objeto artístico responde a esta necesidad.
Ese debe ser el papel del arte hoy. Iniciar un cambio. Ayúdanos a reconstruir nuestros templos interiores devastados como si cada piedra fuera un ser humano que forma parte de esa gran obra de levantar un nuevo templo. Esta es la base para la formulación de una propuesta que pretende denunciar el abandono de la cultura tradicional y ponerla en valor.
The project «Human Architectures» is the result of historical and documentary research in historical archives on popular religiosity. This research has resulted in a series of images that aim to reflect the yearning and spiritual search of contemporary man. If «Geoarte,» my last exhibition that toured much of Andalusia in 2012—thanks to RTVA and Centro Valdelarte, Arte y Naturaleza—spoke of man in relation to man and the environment, «Human Architectures» speaks of the necessary reconstruction of the human being after the pandemic.
How many people of great intellect have no soul? Empty temples, whitewashed tombs, methodical scholars, artists, rulers, or leaders who leave us indifferent, without wisdom, without soul, who even use their power to do harm.
That is why, in my paintings from the «Human Architectures» series, men have a door beneath their chest. She gives him the apple, which is desire, and it opens the door inside the body, giving access to the inner temple, the forgotten temple.
To enter, both must transmute energy, turning the most basic needs into something higher, just as the arches of abandoned temples rise towards the sky.
Today’s man uses the body like a bottomless pit to fill a longing he cannot define or identify, and he becomes frustrated when he realizes that this only impoverishes him.
Those who embrace money as a new creed do not see the need for art, beauty, and cultural objects because they believe they can fulfill their deepest desires with a credit card, even though to achieve this, they have become subhuman beings: theft, deceit, violence, abandonment, broken families.
Temples in ruins. Culture and art serve the human soul to enrich itself. The very painting or sculpture as an artistic object responds to this need.
That must be the role of art today: to initiate change. To help us rebuild our devastated inner temples as if each stone were a human being forming part of that great work of raising a new temple. This is the foundation for formulating a proposal that seeks to denounce the abandonment of traditional culture and highlight its value.
