Encounter 2010 #5 Painting

Thank you Saatchi Art for the opportunity to show my art; Welcome Curators, Collectors and art lovers. Aldo Suarez Cuban American, Artist Statement : I was born in Camaguey Cuba in 1954. The inspiration for my figurative works comes from impressions of everyday life, many of these paintings focus on the theme of women and represent them as a source of life and love. I use form, texture, and color in the contemporary dialogue between the material and the spiritual stirred by extreme texture and intentional use of color. My abstract works are conceptual pieces, they are an expression of the desires of personal feelings, feelings, desires, goals in life. Painting for me is very cathartic and it is the most articulate way to express my passion fusing introspection and visual spectacle, it is rich and colorful and intense, it captures each of my senses. My exuberant painting reflects the energy and passion for life. I am a Master of Fine Arts graduated from the San Alejandro Academy in 1983 and the I.S.A. Higher University Institute of Art, in 1991 both prestigious academies in the world, located in the city of Havana Cuba. I immigrated to the United States in 1991 and in 1997 I became a US citizen.
