Featured Artist Friday: Miguel Eduardo Medrano
Friday, March 30, 2012 at 6:21PM We’ll now be featuring a different artist every Friday. Each week, we’ll introduce you to some wonderful fine artists--working on a range of subjects, in a variety of media. We’ll begin with some artists from our own backyard--here in southern California.
Miguel Eduardo MedranoMiguel Eduardo Medrano is an incredible painter--who works primarily in oils and has a remarkable sense of color and design. Eduardo (as he prefers to be called by his friends) was born in Argentina, in 1944. He’s an architect and primarily self-taught painter--who has now workshopped with me for a couple of years. In his own words:
"I started drawing and painting while still in school, and continued to pursue this passion while studying architecture. Throughout my professional career, I kept up with my love of painting. To supplement my self-taught knowledge and skills, I participated in some workshops, competitions and exhibitions. My goal with my paintings is to transform my subject matter into a plastic language. My landscapes are where life is art, and the landscape is a state of the soul, which lies in the soft echo of a painting."
