About the Item
Nico Amortegui, a talented Cuban graffiti artist, creates captivating original artworks on canvas in the figurative cubism style. His large-scale paintings feature vivid colors, stark contrasts, and bold compositions, resulting in vibrant and textured masterpieces. By incorporating numerous layers and using abstract expressions of colors as backdrops for his portraits and still lifes, Amortegui adds depth and visual interest to his artwork. The strategic use of a solid color overlay further emphasizes the central figure, creating a focal point that commands attention.
This impressive original painting on canvas measures 50 inches in height and 49 inches in width. It is expertly stretched, wired, and ready to be showcased on your walls. The artwork features a dark charcoal gray background and is signed by the artist on the front. Free delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with the artwork, ensuring that the piece is an authentic work of art from Nico Amortegui.
Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, Amortegui brings a rich cultural background to his artistic creations. Having immigrated to the United States at the age of 17 and hailing from a family of artisans, his artwork reflects the themes of identity, cultural fusion, and the immigrant experience. Drawing inspiration from his elaborate garden, Amortegui infuses elements of nature into his paintings, creating a harmonious blend of organic and abstract forms.
Amortegui's artistic achievements have garnered significant recognition, with exhibitions and collections spanning across the United States and international venues. Notable museum showcases and public installations in cities such as Winston Salem, NC (USA), Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem (Israel) have propelled his career to new heights.
