Paul Torres’ self portrait and Acrostic Interview – His canvas tells the stories of Life
The best advice that I’ve been given is to work from Life a lot. A lot of Life drawing sketches because that’ll give you a good solid knowledge of reality, but at the same time work from your imagination and try to be honest and genuine with your vision. Own what you do.
ART TODAY 022318 Chris Bonno recommends Paul Torres in a review of an art piece from his personal collection
His portraits have a sensuality to them and he clearly knows how to do a more traditional portrait (that can be stunning to observe) with excellent paint technique, volume, and creative use of color. Mostly, I see the creations, the people, the personalities, the vibe, the time he captures and the core or heart of his subjects. As a spectator, I am “let in” on how Torres’ cares for his work and his subjects. He creates an atmosphere while capturing the heart and attitude of the characters that we see around us but might not closely observe. By Chris Bonno
ART TODAY 022218 Paul Torres paints about Life! drawing sketches at his home studio, in restaurants, and other cool places
My favorite medium is oil painting but I also do a lot of color pencil, marker, acrylic, oil, pastels… a little bit of everything. I always end up with oils or sometimes I just do everything in oils from the start.
