MARINE SCAPES 1 Painting

Gil Ferrer is an experienced artist and photographer. His creative vision comprises of mixing conventional art forms with collage and digital technologies to create original forms of media. Gil was born in Marseilles, France, following the conclusion of the Spanish Civil War. At an early age, he moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he found himself surrounded by the artistic movement and culture of ancient Spanish Masters, including contemporary artists Gaudi, Dali, Tàpies, and Picasso. More recently, Gil created a series of works called ORGANIC MARINE SCAPES, based on the picturesque Hamptons in Long Island, New York. These natural scenes, all located near his home in Southampton, use a combination of photos, pigment paints and organic artifacts found at the actual locations photographed. Gil’s beautiful landscapes continue to represent his concern for the environment as an artist. Gil’s use of unconventional mediums and his insatiable appetite for change has finally given birth to his latest series CELLS – an instinctive and compelling look at the inner body, created using techniques Gil has acquired over a lifetime of creative expression.
