Granada Surrealist Carlos Vega
Spain is a fantastic country with a fantastic array of luxury hotels. Granada offers some of Spain’s finest, with its rich history and geography complimenting the splendor of the accommodations. There are lots of choices for excellent lodgings here, and we’ve taken great care to select the hotels that have met, or even exceeded, our high standards. Chosen for their excellence in service, comfort, and style, you’ll be enjoying your visit to Spain in a class that is truly out of this world. You’ll love how we’ve merged innovation with tradition, with all the latest technologies and conveniences blended with the best of old world customs like hospitality and panache. Southern Spain has so much to offer the savviest of travelers, so why not enjoy it with the finest accommodations that life has to offer?
After a delicious sleep in our gorgeously-decorated rooms, enjoy a fine meal served by our world class chefs who are well-versed in local and international cooking techniques. Food and sleep can have wonderful restorative qualities, and you’ll be fit to enjoy all the adventures that Granada holds in store for you. There is an innate sense of luxury that permeates every aspect of island living generally, where activities are never all that active, and there is a pull toward daydreaming and contemplation. One of the best ways to get to a daydream here is by spending time close to the water, and looking at art. Spain has a long and vibrant tradition of visual art, and has produced some of the most stunning and gorgeous works of art in the world. In continuing this tradition, the next generation of Spanish artists is lead by Carlos Vega.
This Granada artist is now based in New York, where his work is attracting the attention of the international art scene. He is part of a new wave of artists from Granada who are entering the art market, at a time where it is a very unsteady place. For innovative temperaments such as Carlos Vega’s, this can be a very inspiring situation. The art world as such is a kind of blank slate, and when contemporary tastes are impossible to generalize, then the artists have freedom to make whatever they like. Carlos Vega is currently in a very interesting phase, using his previous surrealist tendencies for making new works of collage that use ephemera from the lives of others. This suggests a crossing over from biography into visual art, with an odd mix of irony, compassion, and deep humor.
