BOTH Saatchi Art Best of Year AND Pantone Color of the Year Collections!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , /by

What a great way to start 2020!

Having sold hundreds of abstract expressionist paintings – which can be found in private collections all over the world on 5 continents and 25 plus countries – I can tell you that I am honored knowing that my art resonates with such a variety of people. I have sold works directly to young professionals who are just starting their collections and told me that they are “finally ready for some art.” I have had seasoned collectors contact me directly as well to inquire about my work. I recall one Japanese college student who purchase a work for her room. I have done the artwork for entire homes (I will have a posting on that shortly) with 15 commissioned works! I have done huge commissions for lofts and Hollywood hills homes…this is just a tiny fraction of the varied collectors Lee and I have worked with.

This however is a new first for me – Saatchi Art’s Best Of The Year for 2019. This collection was curated by Saatchi Art Assistant curator Aurora Garrison. Thank you very much Aurora for adding my work to this collection. This is a very important collection as there are literally hundreds of thousands of works on the Saatchi Art website and just 109 works included so I am in fine company.

The very same week one of my works was selected by Saatchi Art Assistant curator Megan Wright to be included in the Saatchi Art’s collection of artworks using the color to illustrating the new Pantone color of the year which is Classic Blue. Thank you very much Megan, it is an honor to be included the collection of just 90 works!

Well another year has come and I continue my journey as a full-time artist. Reflecting on the past year I would like to thank all of the wonderful collectors who purchased my artwork or had a commission done!

I would also like to thank the galleries who assist in selling my work by exposing it to a vast worldwide audience who would otherwise not be able to enjoy it.

So now that the busy holiday season is coming to a close I think I will kick back in the studio and relax for a moment – I think I deserve it!

Speaking of deserving – don’t you think that new art is just what YOU deserve to start 2020 – a totally new decade?

Hope to work with you again (or for the first time) in 2020!

Nestor Toro taking a well earned break (just for a moment) and then ready for an exciting 2020!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

WOW!

This month has flown by so quickly and I would like to thank each of the wonderful collectors who have recently purchased my work and to all those who have collected my work this year (and in years gone bye)! I have been shipping art out everyday this month! Wonderful to know that so many are giving the gift of fine art to someone they love – even if that someone is themselves!

I had the privilege of working with some of the Saatchi Art team at the headquarters in Santa Monica. This was on December 19th and I was there being filmed painting a couple of works. Look for me online at Saatchi Art. Oh and that after my work had been not only featured in the head curator’s New This Week but I was also honored to have had my work included in the printed Saatchi Art 2019 Holiday catalog.

I have many events in the works for 2020 including attending The Other Art Fair in a different city than my home city of Los Angeles ( I had a show there in 2018 ) so watch for news about that some and perhaps I will be close to you. If so that would be great to meet you! You can also view some of my artwork in person as photographs can not really do a painting (mine or anyone’s) justice.

Well I have to get back to it…just a few more days until Christmas and on to the New Year!!

HAPPY  HOLIDAYS!

SOLD – Verdor (Maritime Forest) by Nestor Toro

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , /by

I was contacted by an art consultant in Miami who wanted to purchase Verdor (Maritime Forest) for a new home she was working on. She wanted artwork from an emerging artist and when she came across my artwork she knew that she had found what she was looking for. For her first purchase she choose my work Verdor (Maritime Forest) which is a work that was suited to the project.

The work is hung vertically and is 48×36 so it makes quite the statement! Nature inspired – Minimalist abstract green, blue, and a splash of other colors! Calming and contemplative. As you can see this work makes quite the statement! Thank you – Nestor Toro / Los Angeles / 2019

As you can see from the photo above a small work such as this one measuring 20×16 inches can make a dramatic statement! Just look at the color and movement that this work brings to this area! The wonderful thing about abstracts is that they each speak to each viewer and say something different. One work might appeal to you while another might not – and that’s OK!

No one sees the world the way you do – your unique viewpoint makes you who you are! Enjoy that and make a statement with the artwork you bring into your home or office!

Very expressive abstract painting.
