Pilar Menendez

Pilar Menendez. American. Born in Zaragoza- Spain 12-03-1957. BA in Art History and Art Studio at UC Davis, California. I studied with the artist Wayne Thiebaud at Davis. I had 20 years of exhibition experience in California. I recently moved back to Spain. I pretend to make people think, about what art means. I like expressionism, the vigorous brush, the expressive brushtroke along with the power of color to create drama. The emotions that evoque a painting, memories, history. Worked with my teacher Wayne Thiebaud and I was part of the clases by Antonio Lopez.
