The Bajen-Vega Museum is open daily A pleasant surprise in a charming house... Created in a manorial house in the heart of the village, the Bajen-Vega museum brings together a unique collection of contemporary Spanish paintings. On two floors above the Tourist Office, come and discover the canvasses of Francisco Bajen nicknamed "the painter of silence" and those of Martine Vega, "the tamer of colours". |
|
Francisco Bajén The painter of silence... In 1946, Bajén started painting. For nearly a decade, as an erudite autodidact, he virtuously experimented with the great avant-garde pictorial currents of the early 20th century. Sometimes fauve, sometimes cubist, passing through abstraction, the filigree classics, Bajén works his style. His approach to light, color, line and shapes is refined. The themes assert themselves and become subjects of predilection. From the 1960s, his style became clearer to achieve great homogeneity in the 1970s. The Bajén style was born, escaping any classification but still imbued with the references that are dear to it. |

Martine Vega The tamer of colors... From 1959, in the greatest secrecy, she painted on the most heterogeneous supports: cardboard, tiles, isorel panels... Discovering his talent, Francisco encourages him to pursue. She exhibited for the first time in 1961 under the signature of Martine Vega; Vega being his mother's name. |
