"Abstract Art is my Passion. It opens my mind to something unimaginable. It brings thoughts, experiences and feelings you can only find in something you truly love. Since my childhood, I have been fascinated by art and the beauty surrounding me. From an early age, I was encouraged to practice painting and was inspired by my mother, a skilled painter herself. Paintings of all styles, especially those from masters like Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Armando Reveron, Oswaldo Vigas and Jesus Rafael Soto have been especially inspirational. Desire and years of practice and persistence led to my contemporary style. Influenced by Latin culture, I love to incorporate vivid and warm colors. By combining oil and acrylic paints with pastels, gels and mediums, I focus on creating simplicity and harmony. Most of my artworks possess intense 3-D texture to provide an individual perspective for each spectator. My paintings wrap seamlessly around the edge of the canvas and they can be hung on their own or framed to beautify any space. Enjoy my Paintings!" |
