2020 Recap and Looking Forward to 2021
2021, Art Info, Collection, contemporary art, Frontpage Article, Interesting facts, L.A. abstract artist painter Nestor Toro, Los Angeles artist Nestor Toro, Nestor Toro Los Angeles Abstract Artist, Nestor Toro New Artwork, Painting sold, Sold Artwork, Sold Artwork by Abstract Artist Nestor Toro, Sold Artwork by Los Angeles abstract artist, sold paintingsNow that we have come to the close of 2020 I would like to share a few of observations for you from an artist’s point of view during this most unusual year.
In times of stress we turn to art for relaxation and positive motivation. Surrounding yourself with artwork that genuinely moves you can pull you through these tough times. Our dominate sense is sight so creating an environment that is visually engaging is really quite important – not only for the simple pleasure and enjoyment it provides but actually could have an impact on your mood. There is a reason they say you “see red” when you become angry. Colors and patterns can trigger emotions even if only on a subconscious level. Think about a work that moved you while you were looking at it. You can be assured that the color palette had a hand in that.
I am fortunate that my studio is in my home and I could continue working throughout the year. The front-line workers have been amazing and kept things moving which I am grateful for! I already knew the UPS and Fed/Ex drivers as I see them pretty much everyday. While so many were locked down and unable to leave their homes it was an opportunity to reflect on their surroundings. Many were motivated to change their surroundings and I am honored that so many were motivated enough by my paintings that they wanted to own one for their homes! I even did a couple of commissions.
The number of works sold has increased each year since I started offering them for sale in 2013 and I am happy to say that 2020 was no exception!

Saatchi Holiday Catalog Print Edition – 2020!
2020, Abstract art, Art Info, Collection, contemporary art, Event, L.A. abstract artist painter Nestor Toro, Los Angeles artist Nestor Toro, Nestor Toro Los Angeles Abstract Artist, NewsHappy Holidays to everyone! 2020 has been a challenging year but when you think about it ALL years are challenging and while some might seem to be overwhelming we have always carried on and we will continue to do so! The finer things in life such as original art are what inspire and motivate us to continue moving forward and creating my own style of abstract expressionism is what I aspire to achieve. It seems that I am in some small way accomplishing this and the proof is having work featured in the holiday catalog as well as the hundreds of sold original painting that are currently hanging in homes and private collections around the world!
The highest honor has been bestowed on me once again this year by Saatchi Art!

THE OTHER ART FAIR / ONLINE STUDIOS 2020 – LOS ANGELES
2020, Frontpage Article, Interesting facts, L.A. abstract artist painter Nestor Toro, Nestor Toro Los Angeles Abstract Artist, NewsThis has been a challenging year for everyone. 2020 is not a year that will soon be forgotten but life goes on! One of the things that makes life worth living is ART – imagine the world without ART! I certainly can not nor would I want to. Art motivates and lifts us up to places that we can only go with our minds. Art should provoke a mental reaction consciously or unconsciously when experienced. This one of the main reasons that Art Fairs are such exciting events!
I participated in The Other Art Fair in 2018 which was the very first one sponsored by Saatchi Art and it was a wonderful experience! Just meeting art lovers and hearing their comments and excitement when viewing my work was most fulfilling. Naturally the events of 2020 have prevented the normal art fairs – leaving both art fans and artists disappointed.
The Other Art Fair – Online Studios / 2020 Los Angeles
I was therefore thrilled when I was contacted by The Other Art Fair and invited to be one of just 120 hand selected artist’s for the Los Angeles Online Studio event! It’s a great opportunity to not only view my latest work but also discover some wonderful new artists (including some of my friends) so take this opportunity to visit this “virtual” art fair event!
