Salvador Aulestia
El Sideroploide
Born in Barcelona in 1915, Salvador Aulestia was defined a black hole in the history of art in Europe.
Painter, sculptor, writer, magician, musician, Aulestia has left a huge, nearly limitless, body of work.
Aulestia shared the times of Dali and Mirò, designed sets for Ionesco and Ibsen, embraced abstractism and then left off for paths unknown.
He founded his own current, Apotelesmatic Art, wrote and painted a series of books on the secret magic of Futebol, the archetypes hidden in the bullfight, the secret language of the hand, wrote symphonies and chamber music with magical overtones, built Teraphims, the talking statues that tell the future.
