Mestiza Painting

Edeguz, as he is fondly called by fellow artists, have been a painter all his life, and has been painting using any medium available, whether acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, pastel and lately with the computer, digitally. He has also produced sculptures, brought about by frustration of not finding the suitable artwork for a collector/client. A natural born artist, he has the skillful hand and eye for art and beauty. It may seem that Edeguz works on his paintings like any other artists, with much obsession. The difference is that his ideas and inspirations come like a thief in the night and awaken him. “It just comes”, he says of the brilliant but inexplicable images he paints. It is as if the various elements in his psyche and the universe connive to let him graphically execute something that cannot be repeated in the exact way a second time. He admits to having a preference for “unpredictable” art. " I want to start my painting sessions without any notion of what will come out." He lets his brush and instinct control and guide him in producing something out of a blank canvass. This is what makes Edeguz’s work a masterpiece. Each is unique and has a story behind it. Though he may have constant of middle-of–the-night inspirations, Edeguz also has some recurring visions that he translates into artworks. These are his Faces and Nudes.
