Andres Lopez
American
Biography:
On a summer morning in 1993 a 22 years old young came to Florida, USA from a small old town in the central area of Cuba called Santa Clara. In his bag, he brought no more than two valuable things, his worn-out brushes and a great dream. The dream to one day become a professional artist in this new land that welcomed him with open arms.
Andres Lopez was born on July 6, 1971. 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 9 where landscapes were always his favorite theme. When he became an adolescent he began taking art classes at the local art school and later decided to devote himself to painting and craftwork to support their parents financially.
When he arrived at the United States, he immediately worked to achieve his goals. Later, in 1999 Andrés López dedicated his passion to the world of mural painting. In 2003 he obtained his US citizenship and a year later he created his own business called Artistic Illusions Painting, Inc.
Today, after a career of more than 30 years, Andrés López continues to paint and teach drawing and painting.
"My goal is to build a solid foundation for the student in drawing, composition, understanding of values, etc. Tools that they can use later in their lives as artists."
Captivated by his love for the beauty of nature, interpreted with a contemporary vision of painting, his latest works are what he sees even in the most common scenes. The close relationship of life and who we are with the natural world that surrounds us and asks us to respect it and take care of it.
Artist Statement:
“I like to scrutinize simple things, sometimes that is where the lost painting waits to be found by the artist's eyes. Through my painting I want to establish a close relationship with the natural world and humbly capture on the canvas a bit of its beauty, listening to its voice that reminds us of how valuable is and how much we should love it ”.

Sailing to the Sun, Reflection in the Water, Oil , Abstract Landscape, Nature
Located in Houston, TX
Sailing into the Sun is an abstract landscape painting. It is oil on canvas. It is gallery wrapped so there is no need for a frame.
On a summer morning in 1993 a 22 years old young came to Florida from a small old town in the central area of Cuba called Santa Clara. In his bag, he brought no more than two valuable things, his worn-out brushes and a great dream. The dream to one day become a professional artist in this new land that welcomed him with open arms.
Captivated by his love for the beauty of the Landscapes, his last works are what he sees even in the most common scenes: the close relationship of life and who we are with the natural world around us that asks us to respect and care for it.
Artist Statement:
" I like to scrutinize in the simple things, sometimes it is there where the lost painting is waiting to be found by the painter's eyes.
The landscape painting gives me the opportunity to establish a close relationship with the natural world and humbly capture on a canvas a little of its beauty listening to its voice that reminds us how valuable we are and how much we should love it".

A Door to the Past, Deering Estate Stone House, American Dream, Cuban American
Located in Houston, TX
On a summer morning in 1993 a 22 years old young came to Florida from a small old town in the central area of Cuba called Santa Clara. In his bag, he brought no more than two valuable things, his worn-out brushes and a great dream. The dream to one day become a professional artist in this new land that welcomed him with open arms.
Captivated by his love for the beauty of the Landscapes, his last works are what he sees even in the most common scenes: the close relationship of life and who we are with the natural world around us that asks us to respect and care for it.
Deering Estate Stone House
Stone House was designed by Phineas Paist and was completed in 1922. It has 18 inch poured concrete walls, limestone, coffered ceilings and copper clad and brass doors. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Charles Deering was nervous of what fire could do. He decided to build his Stone House without a stove. There was a kitchen that housed refrigeration cabinets and storage but the cooking was done in the Richmond Cottage. It was his trepidation of fire that had him asking the architect/designer for the 18 inch concrete walls and brass doors. He also added an elevator to the house which was very forward thinking for 1922.[15] The large wine cellar that is located on the first floor was not discovered until after Hurricane Andrew. It was very well hidden behind built-in cabinetry. Hurricane Andrew flooded the first floor and damaged much of it. It was during the clean up process that it was discovered. He intended the house to be used as a showcase for his art collection and books.
Charles Deering was born on July 31, 1852 in Paris, Maine.[2] He was the son of William Deering, founder of Deering Harvester Company, and brother of millionaire industrialist James Deering. Deering is remembered as an American businessman and philanthropist.
In 1873 Deering graduated from the United States Naval Academy and served as an officer in the Navy until 1881. Deering then became secretary of his father's company, which merged with McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and became International Harvester...
