These elements serve as a means for him to advocate for the significance of cultures originating in suburban neighborhoods, the very milieu where Almansa grew up and cultivated his visual interests.

Samuel Almansa's body of work serves as a poignant reflection of present-day popular culture, embodying a neo-folklore that extends into the realms of digital culture, media, and online networks.

Within these virtual spaces, cultures undergo metamorphosis, reinterpretation, and amalgamation.

Almansa perceives degradation as a pervasive force influencing the contemporary milieu, shaping our surroundings and experiences.

His artistic exploration delves into the construction of reality through information dissemination and subsequent formation of opinions, often detached from truth or individual contemplation.

Kaplan Projects on Instagram: “Samuel Almansa We start November with an important date on the calendar. On November 17th, we will be able to see the new solo exhibition “Como un subwoofer en el botellón “ by multidisciplinary artist @samuelalmansa and it promises to be quite a spectacle for the eyes 👀 “Using the airbrush technique, Almansa represents images recovered from his family past, his environment and the elements that made it up. Thus, the beach towels of any souvenir, the tuned cars, the bottles, the trucks or the religious cards configure the imaginary with which different generations could identify. In this way, through his works, Almansa manages to make the personal become collective.” 📸@juanmi_moya ______________ Samuel Almansa Empezamos noviembre con una fecha importante en el calendario. El 17 de noviembre, podremos ver la nueva exposición individual “Como un subwoofer en el botellón “ del artista multidisciplinar @samuelalmansa y promete ser todo un espectáculo para la vista 👀 “Mediante la técnica del aerógrafo, Almansa representa imágenes recuperadas de su pasado familiar, de su entorno y los elementos que lo configuraban. Las toallas de playa de cualquier souvenir, los coches tuneados, los botellones o las estampitas religiosas configuran el imaginario con el que diversas generaciones podrían sentirse identificadas. Así, a través de sus obras, consigue que lo personal se vuelva colectivo.” 📸 @juanmi_moya #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #emergingartist #galleryart #gallerycollectors #airbrush”

Kaplan Projects on Instagram: “Samuel Almansa. Remembering his solo exhibition. You can come and see his works in our space dedicated to various artists and enjoy the best contemporary art on the island. “Como un subwoofer en un botellón” is a reconciliation with artistic practice as an end in itself, without attempting to change the world, only to reflect it and, in this way, demonstrate it. At the same time, the exhibition is presented as a form of insurrection against the artificial, where the authenticity of the ordinary stands against the presumptuous. _____________________ Samuel Almansa. Recordando su exposición individual. Puedes venir a ver sus obras en nuestro espacio dedicado a varios artistas y disfrutar del mejor arte contemporáneo de la isla. Como un subwoofer en un botellón” es una reconciliación con la práctica artística como fin en sí mismo, sin pretender cambiar el mundo, solo reflejarlo y, de esa manera, evidenciarlo. A la vez, la exposición se plantea como un modo de insurrección contra lo artificial, donde la autenticidad de lo corriente se erige frente a lo presuntuoso. #contemporaryart #collector #artcollector #samuelalmansa #galleryart #gallery”
