I am Jack Prados, an emerging artist whose work is distinguished by a profound exploration of color and a dialogue with the visible and the intangible. My work moves between figuration and abstraction. I currently live and work in the mountains of Madrid, where I find in nature a source of inspiration, a tranquil setting that allows me to develop artistically.
I am currently developing two series in parallel. The first, Fragments of My Garden, captures the essence of my home. The fig tree and Nayla the cat become protagonists, providing an intimate look at everyday life, creating a declaration of affection for what is close to me, a celebration of the private world I inhabit and that inhabits me.
The second, Prayer in Color, is an evolution of the first series, a step toward abstraction in which I seek to offer a new vision of my garden from a more spiritual perspective, exploring its essence through a visual language that goes beyond concrete representation, inviting the viewer to experience the deep connection with the environment through color. I don’t paint a garden, I paint the experience of living it.

My new work emerges, as it has before, from the silent contemplation of my garden. It is not a literal representation of the space, but rather its resonance within me: colors that intertwine, flashes of light that awaken visions, shapes that are not seen but are intuited. This series, Prayer in Color, continues and expands on what I began in Fragments of My Garden. If in that series I explored corners, moments, and seasons of the natural environment, now I delve into a more open dimension, where color ceases to describe and begins to suggest. In this stage, color predominates over form: I don’t seek defined contours, but rather atmospheres. I place points of light, allowing the viewer’s eye to construct its own image.

During the process, almost intuitively, recurring patterns of crosses and stars began to appear. They were not planned, but they insisted on being there, like symbols that needed to manifest. For me, these shapes are traces of the spiritual. They led me to recognize — more clearly than ever — that artistic creation is also a path of connection with God. In every stroke, in every color, there is a silent dialogue with the divine, a search for meaning and light. The cross, as the axis of the day, a center that radiates, a sun that orders, and the stars, dispersed, multiple, silent witnesses of the inner night. The cross, as a solar figure, is not only a sign of faith but also of structure: it is the point where the vertical and the horizontal meet, like the celestial and the earthly, like heaven and the body. The stars, on the other hand, are moments of light offered without imposing. They speak in the plural, they flicker, they suggest. They are the living night, open, vulnerable. In them there is no center, but expansion. They are more questions than answers, and that is why they invite me to enter. My work shares a purpose similar to stained glass. Although my art is abstract, in my paintings, light and color function as means to create a mystical atmosphere. Just as stained glass transforms light into a religious experience, color in my works becomes a tool of revelation. Each painting is an invitation to look inward. The garden, more than a physical space, becomes a mental state. There, in that intersection between the natural, the intimate, the artistic, and the sacred, is where this work is born. There is no intention to narrate, but to evoke; there are no figures, but presences.
