• There is one thing that Merello's works are certainly not: boring. On the contrary, it is a pleasure to look at the colorful paintings by the Spaniard. Every single work by the artist is full of fantasy and life. It seems like the artist uses every imaginable color for his works of art. But please don't imagine a "motley mess" - no, Merello combines all these colors into a harmonious whole.
• The Spaniard's preferred motifs include still lifes and landscapes. But the artist also stages people, especially women, in an abstract way. When looking at a work, it is easy to leave reality for a moment and immerse yourself in the artist's colorful "fantasy world". But as abstract as José Manuel Merello's works of art may be, the motifs are apparent to the viewer at first glance. Whether people, flowers, objects or horses (which can be found on many of his paintings and drawings) - you can immediately see what the artist has depicted.
• On the website "merello.com" you will find (in addition to further information) also "Painter's Thoughts"- a quote:" I demand the right of humble painters.
