ALEX PEREZ Artist´s statement.

I don't copy, I interpret, and if I copy, this is a copy of my mental vision of the scene, using various pictorial tools to reorganize the scene according to my personal vision.

Painting techniques and methods
For my still life which I call "static natures", especially in my latest painting of the symbolics and the very realistic serie, in the edge of hyperrealism, I used soft brushes and classical painting techniques.

The drawing is for me a factor of great importance in my work.

"Plein air" painting (outdoors painting)

Painting outdoors in direct contact with nature, with its lighting changes and time constraints make of this activity something very special, the paint must be achieved quickly because these rapid changes therefore the coloristic changing of the environment, this kind of paint can be completed in one session (Alla Prima) in the place or retuched and finish later in the study, although this may detract from the spontaneity of the work done entirely in situ.
