"My Religion ...painting. My hobby ...painting. My favorite food ...scrambled acrylics with oil and turpentine sauce with a dash of watercolors ala charcoal. Afterward, a cup of espresso and, if available, a good Havana Cigar."
Pablo Carreño is a "true artist", pure in his abilities and intensely impassioned about the magical place we all exist in. His goal is singular, to achieve a higher art, something none of us know, an elusive and ethereal goal that haunts him every minute of every day. He is consumed by this driving force and has become so in tune, his paintings actually run from his soul and heart, through his fingers and onto his canvas or maybe onto an old piece of cardboard. He can make no mistakes, everything he touches is art of the highest order, including throwing a cup of expresso onto the middle of a beautiful near complete painting!
So many "talented or "gifted" artists have stopped their evolution as an artist because they have been able to produce a highly acceptable style of realistic painting that is easily understandable to the masses. This is a dangerous trap because then we would never see the next step. What an incredible luxury to see and feel the most talented of artists progressing into this unknown region. That makes every day an adventure for me as well as Pablo.
I invite you to take some time out of your life to experience the art of Pablo Carreno and participate in our unique adventure. It will be an experience you will not soon forget.
