Currently concentrating on portraits and figurative work sometimes combined with architectural elements, Tony Armendariz presents the subjects in his paintings in the classic realist tradition, either as portraits or in scenes of life. It is his intent to display their soul, or authentic self, which at times may not reveal itself immediately. Many times, the “window” opens and shows itself not only through the eyes but also through other features that emote the complete range of “expressions of life” that include the mouth, hands and body language. Often it may include clothing and objects from domestic life and work. The range of the narratives can be quiet and simple. Some are dramatic and profound. Latin Expressions presents paintings capturing subjects mostly from Armendariz’ travels to countries, including Cuba and Nicaragua. For more information, go to: www.epiphanychi.com
