Paco Delissalde

Artist’s philosophy:
“I find immense pleasure in the beauty and purity
of the lines of a human body or
in the magnificence of a starry night.
I observe both creature and creation;
I am fascinated by their perfection.
I cling to their message with a deep sense
of devotion and responsibility.
If my work transmits a profound sentiment of hope in life,
I am fulfilled."

Biographical Vignette:
Delissalde (b. Mexico City) lives in Denver, Colorado since 2004. He discovered and cultivated his intense love for the visual arts early in his life studying drawing, human anatomy and painting at the ATELIER GUILLMAN under artist painter Manuel Guillén, and art history and sculpture at the NATIONAL SCHOOL OF SCULPTURE AND PAINTING (LA ESMERALDA) in Mexico City during the seventies. He continued to nurture and cultivate this passion while living in New York, Philadelphia and Vienna-Austria (1978-1985) and through his continuous art study trips to New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Amsterdam. Since 2010 he travels annually to Lisbon, France, Spain and Italy to study the works of modern European sculptors and painters.
