Jose Aguirre

José Aguirre was born on June 19, 1956 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Was a disciple of Pepe Montes who in turn was a disciple of Torres García, the creator of Constructive Universalism, today is considered a great exponent of this current.
Constructivism proposes a harmonic system to add symbols that dictate a universal language.
His search uses this method and integrates it into the language of naturalism while naturalism merges with constructive abstraction.
The expected effect is that the viewer sees a colorful picture with color currents
coordinated and as you approach discover a different work with ranges of color and more naturalistic.
Oil is the material of your choice since it considers it very rich and allows you to continue developing the painting for a long time.
His works are in private collections in Uruguay, Argentina, Germany, the United States and Japan
