The characters and scenes portrayed are very varied and can range from situations in urban environments to beach scenes or characters from the rural world. These characters are sometimes depicted in an almost grotesque manner, exaggerating certain details for comic effect. However, it should be noted that Gonzalo Centelles always treats all his characters with respect.

The artist himself defines his style as a cocktail that brings together various artistic trends to result in a work with a clear costumbrista tone. All of this is supported by a sometimes risky use of color, with an exhaustive game of chromatic interactions that catches the observer’s attention. Also noteworthy is his search for impossible perspectives that surprise for their audacity and courage.

Technically, Centelles has always been an artist with a great number of pictorial resources. But, by the same token, he has always been a very perfectionist artist with his own work and with a high level of self-demand that, at the same time, likes experimentation.

All this contributes to make the vision of his paintings very dynamic and surprising, as well as endearing.
