I have a new series called Terrain which is inspired by the variety of terrains on the earth. It is a series of 10 paintings. They are acrylic on canvas. I am known for my large works but for this series I wanted to do something different. These works are 16″ x 20″ and can be paired together in a harmonious was just as the different terrains on earth all connect seamlessly together.

You can view that series HERE.

The pricing of art varies and is all over the board. It is based on many factors including the material of the work such as size of the canvas, quality of paint, and other materials. The time a work takes to create must be taken into account. The artist who creates the work is as everyone knows, one of the main factors as that determines the demand and is arguably the most important factor.

My view is that you should always buy art you like. You should NOT buy solely on the advice of an advisor (who probably has an agenda other than your best interests) so you want art that you enjoy…the fact that it might increase in price over time is an added bonus! So buy what YOU will enjoy looking at everyday!

My work for example, has steadily increased in value as I have sold and become more known. This trend continues…you can be part of it. Acquire some of my works and you will not only have beautiful artwork to enjoy but you will know that the price you pay today is a bargain compared to what they will be sold for as time goes by.

Today a collector in Los Angeles acquired “Neon Pistils” for their collection. This is one of my favorite works with gestural movement and color. It is a bold statement piece at 36″ x 48″ and striking to view in person. It is always exciting to find a new home for a work such as this one!

It is always rewarding to meet with a collector and show them my work in person. It makes what is otherwise a cold business transaction something special. First there is just no substitute for viewing artwork in person. It is simply not possible to capture the subtle details with photography and see them on a small computer screen. Of course, the power of a work can only be experience in person when you can view the work from any distance or angle that you wish!

This work was sold a few weeks ago and the collector sent this photo of what it looks like installed in his home.

Iridescent blue tangle abstract painting sold sold by Nestor Toro

The work is entitled “Iridescent Blue Tangle” and perspective you can see that it is 36″ x 48″ in dimension. A lot of people think that this is too large for their home and opt for a number of smaller works but you can see here what a bold statement a work of this size makes in a room.

It looks fantastic in this setting and the brown earth tones combined with the warm lighting really tie everything together with the natural wood elements of this room! Don’t be shy about buy a large work because as you can see a single work really stands out and enhances the entire room!
