Along with Saura, Millares, Pablo Serrano, Canogar and Chirino, Manuel Viola was a member of the famous Spanish avant-garde art group "El Paso". Without shifting from informalism or abstract expressionism, Manuel Viola recovers certain historical values like the chiaroscuro and the Spanish Tenebrism, which he contemporises through his paintings. Manuel Viola's abstract paintings seem to be a struggle in search of light, in the darkness, between light and shadow. A kind of ambiguity appears on Viola's canvases in the form of imagined landscapes and implied characters that contribute to enrich his vision with a certain poetic spirit, a vision of a lyrical world.
