The work by this painter from Valencia is an example of the resolute commitment with abstraction which has underpinned his practice ever since his beginnings right up until the present day, making him one of the contemporary artists most clearly engaged with the use of expressiveness. His paintings are built around various chromatic solutions and bold geometric forms charged with high intensity.

In the early eighties, Chapa discovered paper as the ideal support for exteriorising his abstract configurations, more specifically using the silkscreen printing process, a technique that enabled him to develop a myriad of possibilities which he would then transfer to canvas. In this way he created a language of his own based on paper-canvas and canvas-paper which would prove critical in accomplishing the desired artistic process.

Apart from the vivid play of colours and contrasts in this artist’s painting, there is also a fundamental usage of graphics in the lines that generate squares, triangles and countless geometric forms, concentrated one over the other in the same plane, in a symbolic analysis that endeavours to reflect the maximum expressiveness with the greatest formal simplicity.
