About the Item
Influenced by artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, and drawing inspiration from concepts in art and science, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture. Vessels are a recurring theme in Portilla's work as symbolic of the potential for the ability to hold and receive. In this series, architectural ideas, Man's creativity, construction and lofty ideals is a theme. For example, "Bresummer" means "a load bearing support".
The primary picture shows "Mont Blanc", OIl on canvas 56 x 52 in.
The other 2 pictures show "Chamonix", Oil on Canvas 56 x 56 in.
Framing available if required. Ready to hang / install.

“Alexis is a poet in space and a painter of original feeling… He conveys a constant sense of expansion.”
Artist Will Barnet (1911-2012), June 2007
Alexis Portilla obtained his Master's of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990 and has been working as an artist for more than 20 years. We showcase this talented artist's virtuosity ranging from the strong, bold and big to the fragile, vulnerable small exquisite pieces in beeswax and oil. Influenced by the emotion of artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture. Often, his pictographs depict vessels because of its significance to many aspects of the human condition. His bold linear lines, use of symbols, pictographs and strong colors create atmospheric abstracts.
“Using simple forms and creating swathes of rich texture, Alexis Portilla builds atmospheric abstract paintings that convey a sense of time having passed. Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present.”
- Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review.
He has shown in group and solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally. His works have been commissioned by major corporations, universities and for private collections.
