All in Painting
My artworks are a series of paintings of people. I often focus on the eyes to help emphasize the emotions and to enhance communications between the viewer and the piece. Each painting has its own story to tell, and the faces, the texture, the emotions, and the artist helps to tell that story. I enjoy painting in the expressionist style but with the ultimate control of the brush strokes and surface texture.
There are lots of ways to express art, with music, painting, sculpture, dancing, theater, and etc. Nature itself is the most perfect art that exists. The sound of the birds singing, the sound of the sea, the wind blowing, we reproduce with the music; a variety of incredible colors, thousands of shades, light, shadows, we reproduce in the painting; the movement of the seawater, of the leaves of the trees, we reproduce with the dancing.

Born in Ciudad Real / Spain. My work has a marked personal seal of identity that I apply in a free way and without limitations. I use my creativity to be different and look for new artistic proposals that surprise and excite.
Art for me is a way to communicate thorough the materials, techniques and forms I use, my ideas and what I feel to my viewer, as well as challenge, provoke and instigate in the viewer ideas and feelings of their own.

South Korea-based Buyong Hwang is a painter with a background in graphic design. His works delve into the subconsciousness through abstract stimuli. Each silhouette features recognisable forms - such as birds and leaves - but does so subtly, asking the viewer to look deeper and see something new. A happy man is not without wounds, but a man can heal himself through many wounds.

I am an admirer of Fauvism which lasted 1904 to 1908. The leaders of the movement were Matisse and Andre Derain. The paintings are characterized by flat shapes and controlled lines. The paintings express emotion with dissonant colors without regard for the subject’s natural colors. The subjects painted are women and still life placing the figures in fully realized interiors. I work with a brilliant Fauvist palette and add muted tones. I use color as the foundation of expressive, decorative paintings. I want my art to be like Matisse “of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter. Art that will be a soothing calming influence on the mind.”

I'm the 3r I d child out of five. Our parents have been emotionally challenged as we almost all brought along a period of worries. I myself for example got seriously stuck at birth and had an accident at the age of 9 through which I got into a coma. I came out of it three weeks later and had to learn how to speak and walk again. I don't know which of the two situations made that I could not be a great student such as my brothers and sisters. I was smart, but to slow to keep up with the standards of others.
