  ANTONIO DE FELIPE (Valencia, 1965). "Sara I". Acrylic on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 200 x 200 cm. Work in which you can see how the artist has reinterpreted in pop key, a photograph of Sara Montiel. This photograph was chosen as the cover for the number 308 of Careta Magazine, in 1960. Graduated in Fine Arts at the University of San Carlos Valencia, Antonio de Felipe began his career working as a creative in an advertising agency, a fact that undoubtedly will mark what will be his pictorial style in the future. He is considered a Pop artist - or more specifically, part of the movement "Les noveaux Pop", along with other international artists linked to the Pop world - in the broadest sense of the word, developing his extensive work in different series (Logotypes, Cows, Cinemaspop, Popsport, among others) always maintaining a completely plastic and visual aesthetic, clear, addressing the common society. Fundamental is the color, garish and provocative, as well as the subject matter, very simple and direct. His facet as a creative has led him to collaborate with Pedro Almodóvar in the film "Carne Trémula", as well as to create continuity bumpers for Telemadrid or design tableware for the firm Santa Clara. He has collaborated on posters, album covers and important publications such as ByN Dominical (ABC's Sunday magazine), El País, El Magazine del diario El Mundo, Marie Claire, ELLE, Qué leer, and Rolling Stone magazine, among others. In his more than twenty years of intense professional career he has held more than ninety solo exhibitions, both in Spain and abroad, and as many group exhibitions. He is currently represented in the Reina Sofía Museum, the IVAM, the Sidney Besthoff Foundation of New Orleans, the Testimoni Collections of La Caixa, Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza and Kneip of Luxembourg and the Montblanc Cultural Foundation, among other public and private collections in Spain and abroad. To this national and international presence is added its participation in fairs such as ARCO, ART COLOGNE, ART PARIS, ART BRUSSELS, ST-ART Strasbourg, or KIAF (Korea International Art Fair), reference frameworks to know the latest artistic trends.
