Juanito Conte is a renowned Uruguayan artist currently residing in Punta del Este after having lived and worked for sixteen years between New York and Los Angeles.   His works with a high impact on color and dynamism, combine mixed media with abundant display of images and expressionist handling in line and form. Self-taught, the artist draws inspiration from various sources, many of which are related to his green passions, his travels and his most intimate experiences that are expressed to tell a story.   The artist intertwines the written word, distorts objects and abstract imaginations in pictorial installations with a powerful energy to travel of quality, re-conceives and sizes the work to its highest standards of interpretation. His innovative spirit towards composition and assembly forges a new visual language, amazing compositions that frequently spread across multiple fabrics and panels.   Much of his work incorporating techniques such as collage, energetic handling of brush strokes and, at the same time, a plot that expresses itself elegant and meticulous, invites a specific and demanding observation through which he manages to transmit his young spirit, consultation and spontaneous.
