PROFILE
L to paint the master Octavio Alvarez Urbina says he admires the beauty and taste that is life and art, how much you enjoy with the brush, his strokes are shapes and colors mix to transform the canvas in works fine, achieving sensitivity and transmit all his concept of art through them. Octavio Urbina, a native Mexican artist vocation in the art of painting. He has devoted himself passionately to his very special stamp on each of their works.
To him nature is paramount and therefore all subjects are focused to show off the natural beauty we have Mexicans, it also is an ardent admirer of our culture by taking into account all the crafts, flowers, fruits, and gastronomy our country, their songs always find reflected the connection of Mexican art. When you start creating focus with the movement of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Beethoven and are flowing in him the peace and pleasure of painting, creating works of various kinds arise great skill and dexterity to make such beautiful creations.
In his works we can see the beauty in a vision brought to its peak, surrounded by a lofty and pure chromaticism without losing perspective and proportion of the real, in their models we find that it is your own designer, their creativity and sensitivity us to contemplate the beauty of nature.
His favorite subjects are commonly called still life still lifes, flowers, animals and landscapes which can handle ultra-realistic form that expresses what is envisaged, but in a lofty manner. Surreal in which provokes in the viewer the freedom to get things in the imagination of the viewer wearing anywhere paradise. Hyperrealism combined Cubism with which he has named "Cubirrealismo" in which we manage fantasies. This has been mixing his skills, feelings, tastes and colors, gently taking a picture and feeling that distinguish it. When handling Impressionism, he leaves his sensitivity, his explosive power as using the spatula, paint is marking and defining its forms Flowers, vases, fruit or models that are left to the taste of the artist and are the sign of the skill that has been achieved in each project it undertakes, its focus on minimalism records his time and simplicity of composition A beautiful and subtle.
