Andres Lopez
Miami, Florida
Andres Lopez was born in the old Cuban town of Santa Clara. As a child, he developed a deep love for the beauty of the countryside and the exquisite architecture of his hometown. He participated in drawing contests at the tender age of nine where landscapes were always his favorite theme. In his early twenties, Andres made his way to Florida, bringing only his worn-out brushes and a great dream. Immediately captivated by the beauty of the Everglades, his works display the close relationship between humanity and the natural world around us.
Artist Statement
Born in Cuba to a family immersed in art, music, and theater, I developed a love for the countryside and the architecture of my hometown from a young age. Winning drawing competitions at 9, landscapes became my favorite subject.
As a painter with a keen creative sensibility, I find art in the mundane, evident in my recent series "Reflections." Scrutinizing the simple things, I believe hidden paintings often wait to be found by the painter's eyes. Exploring a universe of color and light, I present a fresh, almost abstract perspective on reality.
