Curatorial context

The Museo Tiflológico of ONCE is hosting 'Búsqueda' (Search), an exhibition dedicated to the work of the visually impaired painter José Valcárcel Ausín. The exhibition showcases 12 paintings that offer a deep and personal exploration of the artist's universe, his dreams, and his perception of reality. Valcárcel Ausín, born in 1955, developed his artistic skills from childhood, drawing inspiration from masters like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and particularly Diego Velázquez. Though largely self-taught, he joined ONCE in 2005 and has since evolved his practice, now integrating Artificial Intelligence tools to enhance his creative process. The collection presents a visual narrative of an artist committed to his craft, maintaining a firm stance within figuration, which is highlighted as an act of bravery and fidelity to his distinct vision. His works demonstrate a harmonious balance between objective representation and personal transformation of forms, resulting in paintings of great communicative efficacy. They reveal a keen observation of reality coupled with a poetic sensibility that conjugates the spiritual with the earthly, the emotional with the reflective, conveying a range of feelings from joy to melancholy and challenging the observer to find their own answers.

The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Friday, 10:00 to 15:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00. It is closed on Sundays and national holidays. Specific ticketing information beyond opening hours is not provided on this page.
