Enrique Zaldivar Bio

The plight of almost every artist originates from a vast, unconquerable desire for self-expression. Enrique Zaldivar fulfills this desire by incorporating his vibrant, expressionistic works into his lifestyle, living and breathing the very essence of each brushstroke. Painting with acrylic, for Zaldivar, is liberating and his canvasses are the bases from which launches his own personal rebellion against the conventions of visual art. Issues inherent to human beings such as the meaning of life, death, freedom, religion, power, and exile are reflected throughout Zaldivar’s body of work. Additionally, his paintings depict his inner world, character, mood, and philosophy of life drawing from impressionism, abstraction, surrealism, and pop art with the indispensable addition of his own unique characteristics. Zaldivar’s paintings are rife with aspects of nature and the robust infusion of complementary colors, which strive to create harmony and balance within the canvas. Such effervescent colors mixtures of hues serve as a means illuminating the canvas just as the presence of the tropical light in Cuba and the dispersal of autumn colors in the United States imbue whichever landscapes the touch with unparalleled brilliance.
