Hector Casares

Hector Oscar Casares was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 13 July 1946 and lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil since 1972. He worked in various advertising agencies as art director in the cities of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro and returned to painting in 1993. Through his studies and researches he painted the Brazilian Savanna specializing in fruits, branches and trunks and then discovered fragments of bromeliads (Bromelia is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae) and the universe with its nuances of shapes and colors. Casares has studied painting at the National School of Arts Prilidiano Pueyrredón, in Argentina's capital, but in these 39 years of Rio de Janeiro he has mixed the prime technique to a journey to Brazil's nature, exhibiting its rhythms, colors and luminosity. The current stage is marked by the presence of fragments. The fragments caught by his intriguing eyes are generous and provocative. Generous, because he harvests instants, nuances, which his perception transforms into exuberant moments. Provocative as those glimpses, those details translate colors and vibrations into reality. The artist reveals with shapes, curves, lines, colors and vibes his own style.
