Pastel Painting’s Gallant Global Ambassador
Spanish Artist Rubén Belloso Adorna
Spanish master pastel painter Rubén Belloso Adorna paints astonishing, lifelike paintings that often offer a glimpse into a Greek myth, a biblical tale, or even a faraway fairy tale. But each and every one of his paintings is based on his own life experience, and almost all of them rely on his family or friends as models. “Once upon a time,” 2016, by Rubén Belloso Adorna. Pastel on paper; 39 3/8 inches by 27 1/2 inches. (Courtesy of Rubén Belloso Adorna)
For the past 12 years, Belloso Adorna has specialized in creating realistic images with pastels. It hasn’t always been easy to learn or to promote the medium: Often his magical pastel paintings are mistaken for oil paintings. Yet, Belloso Adorna is determined to revive the once revered art of pastel painting.
