Artist Statement:
American abstract painter - Nestor Toro's international demand increases each year for his original abstracts which are found private collections on 5 continents in over 20 countries! Buy this emerging artist has had recent sales in the USA, France, Italy, Japan, India, Australia, Spain, Great Britain, and Germany.
His work explores the dichotomy of randomness and order existing at the same moment and captures the complexity that must be there because nothing is really absolute black and white. To view the world in that way is too easy and convenient and as a result too limiting. Nestor's work shows this within his extraordinary works.
"I create art that transports the viewer to a mental landscape of contemplation. One of my biggest influences is travel. Travel opens up your mind and frees the imagination to new experiences. Getting lost in a huge city and exploring.
Nature and organic movement such as smoke, water, magnetic fields, even the global migration of animals and the way birds and fish move in unison influence me. Chaos theory and time itself are all influences on my mental process when working on a painting."
"I create artwork outside the range of most and I explore that grey area that usually goes unnoticed." - Nestor Toro
