Ernest Compta
Ernest Compta Llinàs (b. 1973) is a Catalan artist and architect based in Barcelona, Spain. His artistic practice centers on the facial portrait as a medium to express social and emotional diversity. Over his career, Compta has navigated various styles and formats, working primarily with acrylics on canvas and paper, as well as charcoal, oil, pastel, and ink. Drawing stylistic influence from abstraction and expressionism, he depicts anonymous faces to explore the nuances, complexity, and contrasts of the human emotional state, offering a profound reflection on mood and the human condition.
