Clair-obscur / Chiaroscuro Painting

I am a figurative artist using oil painting on canvas. When I paint, I try to reproduce the subject as precisely as possible. In most of my art, I remember my traveling souvenirs, Cuba beaches, Peru canyons, etc. I enjoy hicking, outdoors, nature, animals and traveling. I like taking pictures that inspire me to paint. I explore some textures and use acrylic for background. Some agreements with professional photographers allow me to enlarge my repertoire of inspiring images.
