"Turquoise Sea #1" Painting

A native of Spain, Jesus Nunez is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist. From a young age, art has always come naturally to him. As a teenager growing up in Madrid his first step into the public art world was through street art. As he became established in life, he turned his artistic talents to a new form of culinary art. Jesus led helms of renowned restaurants in New York City and Madrid, including three of his own: Gastroarte, Polenta, and Flou. In its review of Jesus’ first New York restaurant, The New York Times called his cuisine edible art and compared Jesus to famed Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali. Throughout his career, Jesus has proven himself a highly creative visionary who pushes boundaries. Currently residing in the New York City area, Jesus has gone back to his roots creating paintings with unique techniques and materials that are inspired by his eccentric background as a street artist and his time as a chef. If you see something you like but it's sold, Jesus can create a customized work to the exact dimensions you need. Contact him on his website.
