Nestor Toro, Artist
Nestor Toro's paintings are abstract in style which leave the viewer free to experience the artwork through the color combinations, brush strokes, and other special techniques. Nestor's artwork is intended to be a visual experience which evoke a feeling of transport when viewed.
He is self-taught and works primarily with liquid acrylics, watercolors, and various inks in addition to many other mediums to create intricate works that lure the viewer in with the complexities of the color and pattern. His painting are typically comprised of multiple layers of liquid acrylic which are combined using various techniques to create each unique painting. He often uses unconventional objects such as kitchen utensils in his work to manipulate the liquid acrylic.
Each work will go through multiple incarnations as it evolves with layers upon layers added and combined in increasing complexity. He has an innate eye for color combinations that seems to come directly from his subconscious mind, and gives each painting its own unique personality and presence with such visual depth that it must be experienced by the viewer.
Nestor's art was exhibited numerous times in Buenos Aires at exhibitions, galleries, and other venues during the six years he was living in Argentina (2006 - 2012) there. He sold many pieces to private collectors in Buenos Aires. His tells us, "My hope is that those who own my work will enjoy them each time they view them and be transported to a mental landscape of contemplation and motivation." Now back in Los Angeles since 2012, Nestor continues creating artwork which sells to collectors around the world most recently to Rome Italy and Victoria Australia.
