Eliel Pérez Colón
STATEMENT
I am inspired by my tropical surroundings, daily experiences, and by motivation to send a message through each artwork that I create. Strong primary colors are my preferred basis so the receptor easily distinguishes contrast and color fusions allowing me to create a unique daring color palette. Different large shapes are always in my artwork due me enjoying exaggerating in art the true world that we see.
CURRICULUM VITAE
