Art is a very subjective persuit, what one person believes to be beautiful another may not. Latin American Art like all other forms of art, comes to us in many styles. From abstract art to surrealistic art, cube art and yes, Realism. For centuries realism art was "thee style" of painting and not until the not too distant past has it taken more of a back seat to the other styles. To get an idea of how beautiful realistic Latin American Art can be, painted by Mexican Artist Rodolfo Escalera, visit our web site at http://www.escaleraart.com/
There is skill, creativity, passion and beauty to be found in all styles of Latino Art. Having been raised by Rodolfo Escalera and being a first hand witness of the endless hours and commitment he poured into his works, painting the majority of his pieces with "00" paintbrushes and some taking up to 20 years to complete, I can attest to that passion.
I salute all artists and their desire to create. Rodolfo Escalera created until he could no longer hold his brush in his hand.
