Gallery II- Manny a. malonado

 I draw inspiration from the diverse experiences that have shaped my life. Born in Venezuela, raised in Utah, and currently residing in North Carolina, I have been fortunate to witness the beauty of different landscapes and cultures. These encounters have greatly influenced my artistic expression.

Beyond the canvas, I find solace and joy in pursuing outdoor activities. Fly fishing, camping, and hiking have become an integral part of my life, allowing me to connect with nature’s wonders. These adventures are even more special when shared with my wife and our two dogs, Dodger and Remy. Together, we explore hidden trails, and embrace the serenity of the wilderness.

" I use acrylic paints to fuse together the styles of impressionism and sketching. My brush strokes are bold and loose while my sketching is free flowing and intricate. I use a vibrant palette and a playful interplay of colors to evoke the ever-changing mood of nature. Each brush stroke and each sketch captures a fleeting moment, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the dynamic beauty of the landscapes I paint.

My end goal is to create a visual experience that transports the viewer into the heart of these scenes."
