"The color, which itself is a material that holds endless possibilities counterpoint, create, together with drawing, painting great counterpoint to the painting comes to a composition that as a truly pure Art, will serve the divine. In these dizzying heights always takes the same infallible guide: the principle of inner necessity. " Wassily Kandinsky
The watercolor has been converted into an expressive metaphor that has led the way in the life of artist Octavio Paniagua. Water, transparency, color and stains have formed the path of his visual poetry so versatile, tough and intense as his life in art.
From the 70, having completed his studies at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes emerged as experienced watercolor painter, starting his first public presentation of works in watercolor. The foray into this technique would take on roads that now boast the visual arts scene Dominican, his works are in major museums and collections around the world: Museum of Watercolor in Mexico, Art Alliance of New York, Museum of Graphic Novosibirk (Russia) and his paintings are in private collections in Sweden, Italy and Portugal.
The life and work of painter mixing colors, lines, blotches of watercolor. Each stage of personal development is highlighted in the thematic variety of his paintings.
social issues, children's erotic cultural form the pictorial universe of Paniagua. With its layers of watercolor, we communicated in images of urban landscapes, seascapes, prints and characters from different social strata an authentic view of life, of things and above all its sense of modernity in the implementation of the technique, not seeking estheticians effects of well done, how well done, but to reveal what is not of things and being, making their strokes in the texture that gives meaning to his art, conveying the feeling, the ideas and concepts. CHARACTERS
Among the most recurrent in his pictorial discourse are classical musicians and popular women in the sensual, erotic, maternal and mythical, the child or young person in the marginalization and poverty. His characters are brand dramatically, it is a defining gesture in the visual composition, with them spread the soul and the thought of players in the cultural world as in the character of the painting "The streak of experience" which reveals the wisdom maturity, age and time in one person.
The artist manages to express the different applications of watercolor, either wet on wet, dripping, or transitions between colors, a visual effects that make thematic content, especially the feeling of the moment, it's greatness communicate the cityscape, marine, cock fight, outbreaks of violence without being naturalistic only with the action almost gestural brush, water and color. THE TREND PICTORIAL
The artist has covered almost all the trends in his work represented in the painting, impressionism, realism, symbolism, expressionism and abstraction has been the ways to get to open a dialogue with the viewer of his paintings the intention of reaching the depths and awaken the reader's heartstrings of his works. Still
be skilled in many artistic trends raid, is in the abstract expressionist and where impact strength and creativity. Her abstract watercolors reveal a great development of intuition and ideas in content creation and visual forms that can reveal multiple meanings, cultural connections, and above all the free play of the imagination of the viewer.
His watercolors are based on abstract brushstrokes, smudges, rhythmic sense of form, color contrasts, and a nice chaotic universe harmonization of the forms look trapped in a thrilling, interferes, disturbs and delights the recipient.
STAGE OF EROS BOILING
In compliance with the maximum of Sigmund Fred "The stimuli that originate inside the body and reach the soul" was in the nineties his watercolors became carnal, lustful. This was the boiling stage of magical eroticism, pleasure, sensuality in the painter's life.
This time I devoted to criticism as a fine watercolorist Dominican because in its erotic themes guided the brush with feeling, inner strength to the image of woman as the protagonist of his idyllic longing, passion and human drama. Action
understandable to youth stage full of momentum, which together with the uninhibited creative and technical care that led to the creation of aesthetically pleasing works in the field erotic. CURRENT STAGE
After an intense life in his artistic work, after have performed 16 solo exhibitions, participated in over one hundred group, reached nine prizes in major competitions, acquires a new consciousness of life.
The painter begins a spiritual quest when in January 2008 says, "marks the beginning of a relationship that was cut short when I put my eyes on the man, who else is so flawed and a sinner like me.." Octavio Paniagua reunited Road Wassily Kandinsky the principle of art as an inner necessity: "In general, color is a means to exert an influence on the soul. Color is the key .... The artist is the hand for this or that key, properly vibrate the soul. "
Now, as always, the color of the watercolor is accompanied by his new path.
