Blas E. Lopez

​​Blas is driven by cultural encounters, the wonders of the animal kingdom, and the richness of Native American culture. He holds a deep passion for vibrant colors, and his work is a reflection of real-life experiences.

Bio: My Grandfather put a pencil in my hand when I was but a mere child. He saw a fledgling interest and a rudimentary talent in his young Grandson, as I was always doodling and scribbling on any clean surface I could find. He nurtured my interest and encouraged me to draw everyday objects around us. Many decades later, I have yet to put that "proverbial" pencil or brush down. Thank you, Grandfather, for your foresight, your encouragement....your love. He was a master carpenter and created wooden toys, tops, gadgets, etc., so he, too, was an artist in his own right. With every piece of art I create, I imagine Grandfather looking over my shoulder, approvingly. A majority of my subject matter is deeply rooted in my strong cultural images and experiences, the animal kingdom, both real and spiritual, and an affinity for the Native American culture, symbology, rituals, and beliefs. Additionally, the vast majority of my body of work is anchored in real-life experiences and occurrences. As you, the viewer can readily witness, I have a passion for color! You will not find a lot of "earth tones" in my work. It can be verily said that you will "hear" my paintings before you "see" them! I hope you join me on my visual journey, and that my heartfelt work will bring some joy into your life...be it lasting, or fleeting. Blas E. Lopez…Un Pintor.  "I dream of painting…then, I paint my dream."
