Interview with Joaquín Morales Molero
Through works that explore solitude, memory, and the silent dignity of everyday life, Joaquín Morales elevates drawing to its purest form of storytelling. His portraits, both rural and urban, reveal introspective characters and the passage of time, while his technique, rooted in charcoal and Conté pencil, creates a tactile realism that feels both immediate and timeless.
Art, Ignorance, and the Reality of a Society Without Passion
We live in an era where art, the universal language that once symbolized depth, freedom, and redemption, has been reduced to mere spectacle. What was once created with soul is now produced with calculation. What once sprang from passion is now manufactured from the need for approval. In this new order of appearances, authenticity has become an endangered species.
Masterpieces The World’s Finest Painters
As The Guide Artists approaches its 10th anniversary, we’re marking this important milestone with something truly special: an exclusive art book that brings together some of the most exceptional painters from around the globe.
This collector’s edition, titled Masterpieces – The World’s Finest Painters, will be released in January 2026. It will feature over 224 pages of vibrant, full-color artwork in a beautifully bound hardcover format.
More than just a book, this is a celebration of a decade dedicated to art, creativity, and the artists who continue to inspire us. There’s no better way to honor our journey than with this timeless tribute to painting at its finest.
Joaquín Maximiliano Portraying some amount of human essence
For Joaquín Maximiliano Martínez, figurative art is more than a discipline; it is a lens through which to understand the world, an intense and intimate dialogue between reality and imagination. His fascination with the human being, captured through subtle gestures and delicate sensations, anchors his practice in a search for what he considers essential.
