| Capturing his life experiences, artist Juan
Farias manipulates an array of thick lines, rigid paint strokes
and splashes of brilliant luminous paint onto the canvas and wood by using
acrylic paint. The viewer's attention is immediately focused on the searing
emotion he demonstrates with great intensity and spontaneity in his paintings.
One is welcomed into the artist's world to search for the ultimate expression
of a mood or emotion the artist transmits in his works and in the application
of his paint - vigorous and enthusiastic, yet applied with elegance and
panache. He masters to pour his sense of soul in a formless abstract,
in turn expressing his spirit.
Farias
has been painting for over ten years and has exhibited his work at the
Southwest Museum of Art in Corpus Christi, Texas, The Museum of Art in
Austin, Guadalupe Visual Art, Centro Aztlan, & The Gallista Gallery
in San Antonio, Texas. His works are currently displayed at Casa Salazar
Art Gallery in downtown San Antonio, Texas, at 216 East Houston Street.
