Francisco Tortosa was born in Barcelona in 1983, from his first steps he discovered his admiration for painting by surrounding himself with the great family collection, with works by great Spanish Masters of the 19th century.
Since 2005, he has taken up residence in the paradise island of Tenerife, where he has developed a fresh style and a firm brushstroke, making his energetic and determined character very clear.
Francisco has been an outstanding student of great International Watercolor Teachers such as David Taylor, Joseph Zbukvic and Álvaro Castagnet to whom he has a great admiration today, proving to have an innate talent for the mastery of this century-old water technique.
Being one of the new values of contemporary Spanish watercolor, he is the author of urban works, marine and landscape themes, where his motifs of Venice, London or Paris stand out.
He is currently a member of the prestigious International Watercolor Society Association, having received multiple awards in quick painting contests at national level and participating in Watercolor Biennials in Rome, Paris, Hong Kong, Canada and Vietnam among others.
