About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Como inmigrante latinoamericano he dedicado gran parte de la vida a la promoción cultural y la defensa de los derechos humanos.

Nacido en Colombia, en el Norte del Valle del Cauca, participe en procesos sociales por más de 30 años. En mi país natal, participe en actividades por la cultura, los derechos humanos y la democracia.

Más tarde, como inmigrante en los Estados Unidos, me vincule a iniciativas sociales y culturales, difundiendo la producción literaria y artística de creadores latinoamericanos a través de tertulias culturales en Los Ángeles, California. También trabaje en la publicación de periódicos y revistas de la comunidad colombiana en el extranjero, como Colombia Informa y Colombia Cultural.

En el año 2016, decidi tomar los pinceles y comence a incursionar en la pintura artística con acrílicos. Desde entonces, he estado creando obras abstractas con la técnica del fluido acrílico sobre lienzo. Y desde el año 2022, me he enfocado en producir acuarelas artísticas en temas de paisajismo, retrato y semiabstractos que combinan caracteristicas cubistas con figurativos.

Pero mi trayectoria no solo se enfoca en el arte. Por mas de dos decadas, he estado inclinado hacia trabajos relacionados con el diseño gráfico y la publicidad, utilizando las nuevas tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones. Esta experiencia la aplique en la participacion sociocultural en Colombia y, desde inicios de los 2000, con grupos y personas de la cultura latinoamericana asentados en el sur de California.

En resumen, esta es la historia de un trabajador con compromiso social, un hombre en su vida se ha inclinado por la defensa de los derechos humanos y la promoción cultural, y que ha encontrado en la pintura una nueva forma de expresión y de conexión con su comunidad.
