About the artist
The Spanish master, Giner Bueno, was born in Godella, a town along the Valencian coast of Spain, in April of 1935. Valencia itself is a highly industrial city, but in the surrounding villages people lead much simpler lives. Bueno received his passion for painting from his father, Luis Giner Vallas, who was a distinguished landscape painter backed by prestigious awards and exhibitions in important art galleries. At the age of twelve, Giner was given watercolors and oil paints so that he could join his father and his friends while they painted.

Giner Bueno became an exceptional impressionist himself. His talent matured as a student at La Academia de Bellas Artes of San Carlos in Valencia, and continued to develop later in Paris. During his lifetime, he has participated in over fifty shows and has received countless awards. His paintings are exhibited at the Municipal Archive Museum of Valencia, the Museo Real Maestranza de Caballeria de Seville, the Florida Museum of Hispanic and Latin American Art and in private collections all throughout Europe and the United States.

All of Giner Bueno’s influences can be seen from his studio, which is situated above his house overlooking a garden. He comments, “It is difficult for a Valencian painter to escape the luminosity of our land, to escape its color and its contrasts. I am captive of all that and in my paintings I try to reflect, within the Impressionistic school, the joy of our beaches, or our festivals and of the life of the villages in the interior of our arid and rugged Valencia.” Bueno reflects the daily diversity of beauty in his countryside’s natural light and color through sweeping brushstrokes of pinks, purples and blues: “My brushstroke is vibrant, nervous, temperamental, always impregnated with the Valencian school that defines the authentic and true masters such as Sorolla, Pinazo or Navarro, for example.”

Viewers of Bueno’s canvases are presented with a wonderfully unique look at Spanish coastal life. His plein air paintings reflect a vast variety of subjects. He renders images of everyday working class fishermen, peaceful seascapes, and women wearing traditional dresses keeping a watchful eye on the children at the beach or at market. Chief-Editor and art critic of El Periodico de Catalunya newspaper in Spain, Josep Cadena, notes, “The paintings of Giner Bueno allow us to identify with that which is undying in the human personality, with that which, being so intimate, we frequently do not dare draw attention to, and with that which in his paintings we reclaim with obvious pleasure.” The phenomenal way Giner Bueno depicts the simplistic Mediterranean life truly has earned him the right to be called one of Spain’s most distinguished masters of impressionism.
