Fran Mayor, who holds a degree in Fine Arts (UCM) and Master's degrees in Art Research and Creation (UCM) and in Printmaking and Graphic Design (UCLM - RCM), imbues each of his paintings with a profound and well-founded theory. While they may be interpreted as architectural landscapes, he describes them as patterns of repetition that, although assimilable to the figurative tradition of realistic painting, are halfway between figuration and geometric abstraction, between the narrative and the non-narrative.
His work stems from the observation of decaying industrial buildings on the outskirts of Madrid, focusing on subtle modifications, such as hanging a towel on the balcony, that challenge the structure. In this way, he began working from the idea of landscape to refine the image, thinking less in photographic terms and more in pictorial ones. In this process, which has evolved into a full-fledged investigation, we discover what we see today in Fran's work: the painting itself is more important than what is represented. His compositions are characterized by the repetition of an element that forms a frontal grid, without perspective, vanishing point, or optical distortion, accentuating the importance of the geometric pattern.
