An Interview with Arturo Samaniego.

Where are you from and how you got into this?

I was born in Mexico, where I did my initial studies in drawing and painting. I went to University of Texas where I obtained degrees in Fine Art as well as Computer Science. For 15 years after that my life was split between the business world in computers, and the Art world. In 2004 I decided to leave the corporate environment to pursue my true calling and devote myself to the creation of Art. It was a difficult transition but one I will never regret.

What is your driving force?

I believe great Art requires Creativity and inspiration, but also a high level of Craftsmanship. For this reason, throughout my career, I have strived for a refined technique that becomes the instrument of  a personal artistic language.


What kind of work you do and why?

The Sea  has been a recurring theme in my paintings of the last few years, for many reasons: Its great beauty and mistery, its metaphorical representation of life itself, enveloping and nurturing on the surface, but also unpredictable and treacherous like the currents and surf that inhabit it.

My newest series of Oval paintings explores the always exciting relationship between representational and Abstract, with both styles interacting in a visual dialogue.

My work is currently displayed in galleries accross the United States, including Mary Martin Gallery of Naples, Fl and in Charleston, SC. I have had solo and group shows in New York, Miami, and Austin, among many others.

My paintings are in private collections around the world, and have been featured in many prestigious publications such as International Artist Magazine, Juxtapoze, Manifest Galllery International Painting Annual, Studio Visit Magazine, The ArtList Editors, etc.
