Artwork location: United States

This painting was inspired by the streets of Valloria, Italy. This town is famous for its painted doors. Artists from all over the world have painted many of its doors transforming this town into an outdoor museum. I was invited to paint one of their doors in 2012. It was a wonderful experience and I took a lot of photos. I used several of those photos to put together the street of this painting. The chair is a miniature wooden chair that I bought in Mexico. If you are familiar with perspective drawing you will see that there are multiple vanishing points, each wall is in one point perspective but separately, while the chair is in two point perspective. In other words, the buildings are not lined up as in a perfectly planned street, instead they appear to be built in a more rustic way, each having its own orientation (perspective). Throughout history human beings have always had a hard time understanding people that are different from them and many of the world problems were caused from this. You would think that in today's world we should be able to understand each other but this lack of understanding seems to continue. I invite you to have a seat and see everybody's perspectives. Being able to see multiple perspectives will bring light into your life. This whimsical painting measures 40x30 inches with a depth of 1.5". The sides were painted so it does not need a frame. It's ready to hang! If you live outside of the United States, your government will charge you import duties. Please check with your government what the current duties are as these may have changed recently. Customer is responsible for any import duties.
Realism. This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Ready to Hang: Yes. Signature Location: side.

Marlene Llanes, Multiple perspectives
United States  • 1974

Presentation

Marlene Llanes is a surrealist artist who paints intriguing images that evoke a sense of peace. By creating unusual combinations of everyday objects with natural elements, Marlene's works take the viewer to a grounded fantasy. Her images form meanings for the viewer without being forced upon them. Through the use of light and shadows Marlene creates a sense of depth that draws the viewer into a peaceful dreamlike scene. Her paintings can be very colorful but through the use of contrast Marlene brings simplicity and order. Marlene also likes to paint nature and fruit in a realistic way.

Contrary to some art trends where artists focus on producing quick art that will lead to fast sales, Marlene's art clearly shows an amazing dedication and attention to detail. Due to the high-definition quality of Marlene's paintings, you can stand close or far and everything looks sharp and clean.

Marlene has shown her work in numerous exhibits in Texas, Louisiana, and Mexico.

Three of her works are part of public permanent collections. One at the UHCL Pearland Campus and another one at the Savannah College of Art and Design. In 2012 she was invited to Valloria, Italy to paint one of their doors for their Outdoor Museum of the Painted Doors.

Marlene wrote and illustrated the children's book "Paty y los Payasos", published in 2002 by Los Libros de El Nacional in Venezuela.

Besides working on her surrealist paintings Marlene has also worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for newspapers, printing companies, advertising agencies, and publishing companies. Marlene is also passionate about teaching. She has taught college at the Art Institute of Austin and children at Art Plus Academy as well as private lessons to adults.

In 1997 Marlene graduated as a graphic designer from Universidad Vasco de Quiroga in Morelia, Mexico. In 1998 Marlene was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study illustration in the USA. She finished her master's degree in Fine Arts (Illustration) at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2000.

Marlene was born in Morelia, Mexico. She currently lives in Austin, TX. She is a proud dual citizen.
