Jose Fuentes is a Spanish realist landscape artist.  

 Fuentes combines a multitude of influences and techniques. He cites Surrealism as a foundational source of inspiration, particularly the works of Rene Magritte, Max Ernst, and Salvador Dali.  He also credits illustration and comics, abstraction, and expressionism as influential to him, particularly work by artists Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Henri Matisse. American hyperrealist painter Richard Estes imparts the most discernable impact on Fuentes, as they share a procedure of assembling different photos and perspectives and then complete the arranged image with realist precision.

Direct observation comprises the basis of Fuentes’ education. He notes that while he would have preferred to attend official studies, many of his favorite artists are also self-taught including Tjalf Sparnaay, Michael Kutshe, Charles Bell, Francis Bacon, Henri Rousseau, Yves Tanguy, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Tapies, Clave, Viola, and Dino Valls.
