In January 2013, the exhibition Aire de familia (Air of family) was presented within the project Derivas de la Nueva Figuración Madrileña (Derivas of the New Madrileña Figuration) held in Madrid. The last reference is the first cross-analysis of the phenomenon held in Air of family. An approach to Post-conceptual Figuration, commissioned by Paco de la Torre in My Name’s Lolita Art Gallery in Madrid. Derivas raised for the first time a reflection on the development of the proposed renewal of the pictorial image that a group of young painters from Madrid in the early 1970s, to which, a great number of artists have been added to over the years —from neo-metaphysical painters to the neo-pop to the young painter from Seville— that from his individuality has been providing new poetics in the context of these key concepts.
