Translations:Alejandro Obregón/8/en

Obregón's painting is characterized by its expressionism and magical sensibility. As for the former quality, it is worth remembering these words of Vincent van Gogh: “Instead of trying to render exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more arbitrarily in order to express myself forcefully.” This may be applied to Obregón's work, in which creative fantasy and emotional elements are dominant. Obregón recreated reality in most of his paintings, harmoniously transforming the landscape, modifying the human figure—always in service of the painting itself—and used color to express his emotions.
