About
Why this artist matters now
Zush, born Alberto Porta in 1946, is a Spanish artist working across drawing, painting, and sculpture with a practice rooted in esoteric philosophy and visionary abstraction. His densely layered compositions synthesize alchemy, mysticism, and Eastern spirituality into forms that operate between figuration and pure symbol. Since the postwar period, his work interrogates consciousness and spiritual transformation through disciplined formal experimentation.
