This work reflects the characteristic interest of José Beulas for the landscape as an essential and refined space, interpreted with a modern plastic language in which the formal simplification and the chromatic intensity acquire special prominence.

José Beulas was an outstanding landscape painter trained at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where he studied on a scholarship from institutions in Huesca. He was a scholarship holder at El Paular and later at the Spanish Academy in Rome, where he developed a landscape language of great formal sobriety and synthesis.

He participated in biennials such as those of Barcelona and Venice and won important awards, including the First Medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts (1967). He exhibited in Spain and in international cities such as New York, Rome and Milan.

His work is preserved in collections such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia, the Museo de Zaragoza, the Museo de Málaga and the Museo del Dibujo de Larrés, among others.
