Orbital Landscape Painting

JuanCarlos rLora is an American painter and sculptor who has exhibited nationally. Almost all of his works communicate surreal narratives as well as philosophical and scientific theories. For JuanCarlos, art is a way of storytelling. He tells stories and sometimes those stories require different styles of art. That's why his work looks different from one series to the next, but all are underlined by a common theme, to save our home, Earth, which is part of his Concept Art Story, called 'Flor' spanning over 15 years, encompassing various painting and sculpture series. From NY, raised between the U.S. and Santo Domingo and now residing between NY and FL. Began art lessons at the age of 3 and later taught under Dominican Painter, Candido Bido and mentored in his adolescence by Turkish/Dominican Painter, Aquiles Azar. JuanCarlos’ professional art career really kicked-off in 2010 with MoMA P.S.1's online program. After that he focused on studio shows in NY for about 5 years, where later, he built an animal shelter, using the funds from the art sales. Then in 2016, he moved to South Florida to continue helping animals in need, with his first Miami exhibit being with the Aqua Miami Beach Art Fair in 2016. In 2017 JuanCarlos was a top selling solo artist for Spectrum/RedDot Art Fairs and then, starting in 2018, the city of Miami (Downtown) has granted him the use of a section of the Brickell River Walk Trail Park for a yearly Solo Sculpture Exhibition during Miami Art Week.
