Artists at the MFA: Antonio Lopez Garcia

"Most of my work comes about because something bursts into my life that moves me," says Antonio López García. One of Spain's most revered contemporary artists, he imbues everyday subjects with an extraordinary and haunting character. In this personal interview with the artist, he reveals insights into how he chooses his subjects and what inspires his work. This exclusive interview is presented in conjunction with a historic retrospective on view at the MFA through July 27, 2008.

One of the great serious modern artists, putting to shame the shallowness and egotism of many more famous and hyped artists today

Such sincerity and humility from such an incredibly talented individual; pure inspiration!
