Artist Jose Luis Corella
Was born in
1959 in Valencia, Spain. He describes
his childhood like that of any other kid, within the parameters of
normalcy. A noticeable difference
though, is that he spent most of his time engaged in painting, modeling or
drawing. All this done by his personal
choice and freedom to do so. Corella
recalls that at age six, on the Day of Reyes (holiday where it is believed the
Three Wise Men gave gifts to Jesus Christ on January 6), his parents gave him
as a gift a wooden suitcase with paints, brushes, oils and some cardboard. For Corella, this was the most appreciated
treasure because it contained new material with which to paint aside his
watercolors, grouches or pencils that were his usual materials. Originating
from a family of non-artists, Corella had to use his own intuition, desire and
hard work in order to learn how to utilize oil paintings. Corella had a firm belief that in order to
achieve what he wanted, if he had to work and study hard to achieve it, then he
would. At the age of nine, his parents
enrolled him in a technical drawing academy because due to his age they could
not enroll him in avant-garde artistic drawing.
He then continued to study drawing of statues and stone carving and
restoration until he entered the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos de Valencia.
