Joan Louis: Artist's Statement
Growing up in Trujillo, music and art were solid foundations of my cultural upbringing and my paintings draw from this strong Coast North Peruvian influence. As a child, I was very gifted in colours and forms and all materials of art because my father is a painter artist enrolled me .it was a very Interesting to me look at my father working in his art study at home. I spent several hours looking at him working and discovering nrew variety of colors from his palet . For most of my life this was the path I took: paintings exhibitions and books teaching paint. However, as I grew older, I came to realize that my concept of a real artist is freedom - and Painting did represent that to me. One day I noticed my tulip garden and suddenly had the urge to paint it. I had never painted before but I was drawn to the colors and forms and I simply had to try. As I continued experimenting with color and form, my desire to paint became so strong that I ultimately gave up teaching and performing music to follow my heart. With painting, I have chosen my own path and in doing so, I choose the path of freedom.
I love the video . Wonderful work ! dear Andreas ...
