Solo Exhibition at Archway Gallery Houston, TX - June 2 to July 3, 2018
It was my great pleasure to welcome the large and generous public that came to my show ‘Dwellings’. I was very proud and thankful for the opportunity to exhibit my latest paintings and share the moment with such knowledgeable public. The theme of the exhibition was related to my love for history, for old architecture and my recently discovered DNA. Realizing that my heritage was 70% Iberian, and having visited Spain and Portugal in various occasions, it felt natural to me to dig into ‘my past’ through images of ancient Spanish and Portuguese towns. Vejer de la Frontera, a Moorish town in Spain and the old neighborhood of Ribeira in Porto, Portugal, were the fuel for the show. They had all what I love to paint: Interesting geometry, high contrast of light and shade, harmonious color and lots of potential for developing other more ‘modern’ versions of the original. The result was ‘Dwellings’, which I will continue to develop further: In every project, there is always room for improvement!
