Pérez specializes in studio portrait painting using
pastel, although he has also used
Oil painting. His mastery of the technique has allowed him to paint portraits with a high level of accuracy and detail, making his paintings close to photo-realistic. GAL ART describes him as "Excellent portrait painter expressing himself through pastel; mastering the drawing and technique, unveils knowledge that could be put to the service of spectacular beauty".
Josep María Cadena, analyzing
Young Hindu, said "It is a realist piece produced in pastel; it is well done, especially in the care of the hands, which is usually one of the more difficult body parts to draw". In 2018 Manuela Ruiz Berrio, an art dealer, said of Pérez that "he imprints in his retina what he sees [in his subject], and imbues the portrait with soul", further adding that "the eyes speak, their gazes are deep at times, sweet others; the smiles of children and their sorrows... they are so well expressed on the canvas that it seems you were having a conversation with them". Pérez paints three types of portraits:
public figures, anonymous ethnic portraits, and paintings of private citizens. In his public figures series he paints known people from the social, political and show business spheres, later frequently personally delivering the portrait to its subject. These are actors, singers, athletes, politicians and philanthropists such as
Julio Iglesias,
Núria Feliu,
José Carreras,
Baroness Thyssen,
Pep Guardiola,
Maria del Mar Bonet,
Jordi Pujol,
José Mari Bakero,
Marta Ferrusola. In his ethnic series-the type he enjoys the most- Pérez paints anonymous individuals from around world, mostly from Africa and India. Pérez also paints portraits commissioned by private citizens. In 2019 he completed a painting of
Jesus to be placed in the church
Santa Maria de Linyola. == Exhibitions ==
