José Gislero
« I paint and darkness becomes light»
José Gislero is a Swiss painter who focuses on spiritual conceptual art.
José is convinced of the power of art to unite and harmonize the opposites of our world. To create peace and balance.
For him there is no difference between spiritual and material world. Both are interdependent, both are firmly connected and interact.
His series of paintings are often like short stories or painted prayers. His style oscillates between figurative to expressionistic. His works blend both the material and spiritual world.
Different media such as oil, acrylic, stained glass and work with leaf metals give voice to his expression.
