Rafel Bestard (Palma de Mallorca, 1967) has a style of painting matches the quality of old mas- ters. It seems to be real. Down to earth colors, real down to earth people caught in activities that range from sharing down to earth moments to the most absurd contortions. People who try to escape gravity and at the same time show gravitas. People who make fools out of themselves and at the same time seem to be the wisest prophets. All sharing with each other creating a never ending flow of riding the waves of life. What we see is the cornucopia of Rafel Bestard’s obser- vations and experiences, thoughts and emotions, earth and sky. This abundance in combination with his artistic mastership does not only create canvasses but it creates spaces which we can dwell in. Spaces of celebration and joy and peace on an ever swirling roller coaster.
