Angel Rengell, sculptor, painter, and exceptional drawer, studies and purifies his lines until they reach their clearest expression; his nudes are a declared exaltation of the physical wish. Eroticism is part of his complete philosophy. His drawings establish a conception of skillfully represented lines, employing all expressive possibilities.

The seductive influence of the moon is a staple for his pearly feminine nudes in his paintings, drawings, or sculptures. He adeptly combines the classical perfection of the form with his in-depth figure studies. An erotic perfume reigns in every one of his works, thanks to those attractive forms full of expression, motion, intensity, and carnal reality. As for his masculine nudes, they show great character, motion, expressive emotion, and they convince us of his profound knowledge of anatomy.

As a painter, his creations are beautiful, with a good understanding of color, thanks to his experience in drawing, and the balance he finds between truth and ideal. He cultivates the landscape and still lives with great sensuality. His portraits are executed both in painting and in sculpture, maintaining the freshness of a Greek bronze sculpture; his models are filled with beauty, expression, and energy.

As a sculptor, he begins with artworks of high-quality religious character, based on aesthetic ideals and spiritual balance. The physical beauty is amplified in the material world with grace, sweetness, and majesty. At the heart of his vision, an aesthetic ideal flows between the architectural and the monumental. He also simultaneously works on other sculptural creations based on the nude as well as on drawings that speak in an erotic language. A great sculptor of nudes and aesthete, this tireless artist is a designer too.
