NIGHT DRIVE Painting

Sadoth Gonzalez, 28, is a Mexican-American oil painter who was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico and currently lives in St. Louis, Missouri. He specializes in figurative realism and is obsessed with capturing light and color. From the way dawn’s first rays brush the landscape to the raw power of a setting sun—Sadoth’s paintings echo with a delicate understanding of nature’s most dynamic element. His work is a study in contrasts—the interplay of shadows and light, the juxtaposition of colors, the balance between the abstract and the real. What sets Sadoth apart in the field of oil painting is his unconventional and unapologetic use of color, inspired by his Mexican and Cuban ancestry. His works are vibrant orchestras of hues that dance and interact with each other, creating images that are far from static and portraying stories that convey a constantly evolving message. He received his Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Art with an Emphasis in Studio Art from Webster University.
