Art Review:

José Patricio Villegas, landscapes, still lifes and marine

Exhibits a clear dominance of chromaticism with a propensity towards painting color plastic, consisting of oil paintings realistic features, in which the color stands out, through your blurred, seeking harmony, the perfection of detail, but also the tone mark as a guarantee of a particular personality.

Color sensual, soul and perfection of detail, trying to warm it in the landscape, while the sea is clear, airy, light colors, blue, white, water, control of the water layer affecting everything but without sacrificing the complexity of diversity.

His still life work seeks light, contrast and perception of objects, while his seascapes are luminescent and rural landscapes, the frames flagship city, the sea, La Linea, the Bay, the Rock, owned by stylist exercises and concept changed in line with the orderly determination of the composition and concrete.

Is a painter who is a perfectionist, but not abusing the detail, but he seeks to perpetuate a certain notion of reality, then wrapped with color, enhancing its interior, promoting core strength, suggestive of an idea to which he surrenders unopposed.

Elements of the composition falls looking to focus the same, allowing a global vision that encompasses characters, people, vegetation, nature and buildings a whole that is part of a plastic realistic attitude, but at the same time, sensitive to the suggestive and suggested, in line with the intention of connecting deeply with the soul of the statement.
