Art Appreciation
As many of you know, I enjoy looking at art. What I appreciate most is learning about the creator. Many times, you can get a better understanding of the art after you become familiar with the artist.
Recently, I've found interest in realism and hyperrealism--art that resembles a photograph. While searching through samples of this type of art, I came across Santiago Carbonell.
The Ecuadorian-born artist, who currently resides in Querétaro, Mexico, is recognized for his realistic oil paintings and murals. Perhaps telling of his ideology is the mural he was commissioned to paint in Mexico's National Supreme Court building, where he tributes women, the poor, and the forgotten.
You can see more of his work on his website, HERE.
