A NEW VISION OF THE SACRED

José Faria, a master of drypoint and professor of drawing, engraving, and painting, has earned high praise from the Spanish art critic Lourdes Jiménez. In her role as curator of the exhibition showcasing 26 years of Faria's graphic work in Málaga in 2007, she described his engraved pieces as unparalleled and his figurative poetry as something to be admired.

Faria's figurative style takes on an unconventional portrayal of the sacred, emphasizing the dramatic and human dimensions of sacrifice. Through his depiction of the descent from the cross, the black and white tones imbue the artwork with an aura of solemnity and a distinct air of mystery unique to the artist's universe.

José Faria

José Faria was born in 1940 in Seixal. In 1959, he completed a course in Drawing, Engraving and Lithography at the António Arroio School. Since then, his artistic journey has been marked by a constant relationship with graphic work. In 1974, he became a founding member of the Portuguese Cooperative of Printmakers "Gravura" in Lisbon. In 1981, he was awarded the Edition Prize at the 3rd Engraving Exhibition of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. His work is primarily characterized by the drypoint technique that he uses to engrave his pieces. He has exhibited at various locations around the world including Lisbon, Málaga, Madrid, Córdoba, Marbella, Florence, Belgrade, Athens, and Rio de Janeiro.
