Bio
Jose Pesquero is a Painter, Nature Photographer and Digital Art Works Creator. Born in Spain in 1968, both Painting and Photography as an art, have been an attraction to him since many years ago, having devoted hundreds of hours capturing nature images along many trips world-wide. He feels attracted and influenced by the classical impressionist trend on his works, where he usually pursues a contribution beyond a documentary vision, recreating special environments and focusing on the aesthetics of picturesque landscapes. He always attempts to transfer his sensitivity and passion, isolating himself emotionally and channelling the moments of solitude in the middle of the forest with all his senses to capture magic lights and colours. Nature is always his inspiration, where he finds the base for his creative process of “copying, transforming and combining”. His intuitive and self-taught style has allowed him to explore different painting skills, from simple oil on canvas to a challenging combination with digital art techniques to achieve impressive art works. He has exhibited some of his works at Galleri Duerr in Sweden, as well as collaborated with some Festivals like Manchester International and O/Modernt. His most recent project is “Forest Paintings”, a collection composed by more than 100 works based on “painting over photography” technique.

Statement
This project was born more than three years ago when started gathering hundreds of photo-graphs of different forest areas for later start performing paintings based on those images to create without doubt the most valuable artist work in terms of dedication and performance from the author. Using his two main artist tools combined, “camera and brush”, I bring this collection composed by more than 100 works based on “painting over photography” technique, where lights, shadows, textures, and colors through layers of impressionistic brush strokes, result on unique fine art digital works. Both the base of each image and the final art performed for each painting, are all entirely work by own authorship. Every piece of this collection follows some common painting techniques and color combinations as per artist expertise, plus individual performance for each single work as per inspiration of the author. The high-quality of digital art on each piece, allows the holder to procure the possibility for a large reproduction which could fill whatever long-length wall.
