The Consulate is planning to show about 20 pieces of medium-sized paintings of Kiku Poch. The theme will be consistent as Kiku’s signaturestyle – Mediterranean landscape.Kiku Poch began his career in the arts by working as a graphic designer and his work was highly regarded in the advertising industry. It was not until 1993 that Kiku decided to explore the painting medium of oil. Kiku believes oil to be‘the most noble medium of painting reflecting a long history and tradition of art.The artist then started to experiment with the diverse use and expression of oil painting, developing his unique artistic style through the passage of time. Due to his family backgroundand exposure to art, Kiku has cultivated his admiration for Catalan landscape artists and impressionists. This is reflected in the purity ofhis painting technique, emphasizing drawing, composition, texture, colour and light at the same time.
