The portrait contains an intellectual juice in the art, a psychological and existential analysis by the artist of the person portrayed. Many works of art tell us the history by way of their portrayed characters; some provoke the spectator's fright, anguish and even fear, others tenderness or seduction. This game of volumes, shapes and colour inviting us to reflect over the character.
On this Angel Rengell and Luccia Lignan's artists website, the portrait will be adressed, it is understood, as one of their artistic representations of psychological beauty of the character.
Beyond mere expressions, Angel Rengell Portraits hold out a mixture of psychology, perfection and rigor in the drawing, very well organized, able to spread the colour in a massive way, strengthening the volume in one single shape. 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.
Sculptor, painter and exceptional drawer, studies and purifies the lines until reaching their clearest expression; his nudes are adeclared exaltation of the physical wish. He creates great artworks. 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 painting, drawing, or sculpture shows a keen sense of his passionate towards beautiful women. 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 good understanding of the colour, thanks to his experience in drawing, and the balance between the truth and the ideal. He cultivates the landscape and still-life with great beauty.
As a sculptor, he begans with artworks of high-quality religious character, based on an aesthetic ideal and spiritual balance. The physical beauty is amplified in the material world with grace, sweetness, and majesty. At the heart of his mind flows an aesthetic ideal between the architectural and monumental. A great sculptor of nudes and aesthete.
This tireless artist is an architecture projects designer and scale models too, beginning an important motion in Europe.
Luccia Lignan, describes the character for us with seductive and scattered colour shapes with the idea of not only linking volumetric lines which make it possible to recognize to the person portrayed. Her search is broader, and more incisive and intelligent.
As a painter, the nudes of Luccia Lignan talk to us about sensuality. Her women demonstrate the ideal "Eternal Woman with Classical Echoes, but under the Modern vision of 21st century Eroticism". The Nude is an art for her, an expressive form, a cry of freedom, a call to the beauty. She structures the shapes with rich colour modeling. Before undertaking any work, she thinks instinctively for days and weeks, establishing personal rules create by her imagination. Her sense of order, balance, and audacity ensure proper orchestration of the compositional elements, and sweeten her canvases with flowing colours of great expressivity. Her women are sensitive and relaxed, they are grateful to be alive, and they demonstrate this gratitude in their body language. Despite being very conscious of their charm, their voluptuous and sensual bodies and their gazes directed unabashedly at the viewer, they nonetheless evince an air of innocence. Whether they appear as individual figures or in more complex compositions, Luccia Lignan's nudes participate in theatrical scenes.
Still-life and landscape form part of her production, demonstrating her pictorial discipline in the International Contemporary Art Scene. Her splendid abstractions depict a universe governed by textures and harmonic colours, stimulating in the viewer with a fountain of pure pleasure.
As sculptress, the statuary of Luccia Lignan is a search for the satisfaction and liberty with the forms and colours, whether it be it in the luminosity of her nudes or the attitudes of her characters' faces, depicted or not. Her work can be anything from small size to composions of monumental character with all passion and splendor.

This photo by Larry Goldman is part of a photo session dedicated to the artist Luccia Lignan. The photo shoot includes snapshots that show the artist in her London studio, during her creative process. The predominant theme of the session is the Painter's Studio, her model representing a dialogue alternating between the artist and her creation and between the artist and her model.
Larry Goldman presents us with the metamorphosis that takes place -- the Artist Luccia Lignan becomes his Model --
In this enlarged snapshot, the photographer captured Luccia Lignan's most indelible impression, made with all the inspiring qualities of a Muse, inspired in and of herself.
Her figure shows a harmony of forms that combines with the form of her head being tilted back, her curvaceous posture overcome with the spotlight. The mirror reflects the interior of her studio and her model, that is, the female body, with all its sensuous energy.

Larry Goldman moves in front of Angel Rengell and focuses his lens on him, capturing the spontaneity of Rengell and his appreciation of the female figure. The snapshot is taken before the model begins her pose. The Artist Angel Rengell, gestures his left hand in the form of a "V" for "Venus", in allusion to antiquity and the most beautiful goddesses.
This photo is part of a photo session conducted jointly with his wife, Luccia Lignan, in the intimacy of their studio in London.

Angel Rengell (b.1969 Seville, Spain)
Sculptor, Painter, and Designer . Lives and works in London United Kingdom .
Surpassing mere portrayal of character, his portraits are epidermal. He has cultivated his art from childhood. Angel, of German and Italian descent on his father's side, begins to draw at age six. He told media that even as a student, he would portray to his schoolmates at the age of ten. He used the textbook pages to his drawings.
During age thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen, he does his first sculptures and enrolls at the age of fifteen years old into The School of Applied Arts and Artistic Professions of Seville, later at The Faculty of Fine Arts Santa Isabel de Hungría at Seville University. He is a professional sculptor at the age of eighteen, with his own studio. He starts with artworks of high-quality religious character, also simultaneously working on other sculptural creations based on the nude as well as on drawings that speak in an erotic language.
He had already combined text and volumes in his works, so when he saw this trend at international art galleries, it didn't susprise him at all; he is constantly looking for new ways of expression in the art.
He is interested in all kinds of characters, formats and forms of expression, from figurative to the most refined forms and abstractions.
In 2000, he celebrates his marriage to the Painter and Sculptress Luccia Lignan.

Luccia Lignan (b.1980 Córdoba, Spain)
Painter and Sculptress . Lives and works in London United Kingdom .
She has painted portraits from an early age, and an explosion of colour is found in her first attempts with paintbrushes at the age of nine. She paints the portrait of her maternal grandmother "Small artwork on canvas", which she still maintains, (Private Collection). Her great-grandfather, a French musician, whose family was mostly composed of theater actors, was an essential influence for Luccia in that universe of her artistic creation, and he was married the first cousin of the famous Bullfighters José Gómez Ortega, better known as Joselito El Gallo and Rafael Gómez Ortega (Please continue reading here). Her elegant and reliable work, perhaps showing the legacy of her English great-great-grandmother. She goes to a painter's studio to receive private painting's class and finishes her education at The Faculty of Fine Arts Santa Isabel de Hungría at Seville University.
Her personal imprint and the beauty of her brush stroke have culminated in designs that merge the political, avant-garde, and collector communities. She likes her characters look, observe, rather than being observed. Her portraits are like the Beautiful Florence, elegant and somewhat reserved, they are pure simplicity, when you gaze at them, the most element emotions get back to you.
Luccia Lignan not only offers a creative panoramic aspect in painting, her artistic activity includes the cultivation of sculpture as well. Her first sculpture works show us an admirable irresistible personality, and her colourist talent in her polychromatic works, woodcarvings or bronzes.
Her painting and sculpture are inseparable. The feminine polychromatic woodcarvings and bronzes, run in paralell and are tied up to her pictorial creations.
