Artworks by artist Ana Delgado

Ana Delgado was born in Pilas (Seville) in 1948 and now lives in Seville.
She works as a makeup artist and decorator for some well-known brands like Balenciaga, Givenchy, Germany-Monteil and El Corte Inglés. But she always combines the practice of her profession with her painting hobby.

She is a self-taught artist, although she has taken classes from various recognized Sevillian painters such as José Luis Pajuelo, Luis Montes, Martín Iglesias, José Luis Castrillo, Paco Broca and Lanuza.
She has a penchant for the great impressionist masters such as Sorolla, Monet and Van Gogh, and classics like Velázquez and Picasso.
Her favourite painting technique is oil painting, where she shows a great skill and fluency in the use of the spatula, conveying an unmistakable ease and spontaneity to her work.
Freshness, tenderness, colorful and an expressive power permeate the senses of the viewer.
Her favourite subjects are parks, gardens, Andalusian patios, flowers - her roses are outstanding -, fountains, natural landscapes, and portraits.
She has always found inspiration in places that radiate fragrance, light and color,such as the María Luisas park, Sevilles Alcazar, the banks of the Guadalquivir river and Doñana marshes.
