About Jesus Moreno

About me:

I was born in Madrid, Spain, I was exposed to the artwork of the masters, Velazquez, Goya, Sorolla, Picasso, Dali, and Miro, at a young age, which left me a lasting impression. These influences led me to explore a career as an artist, illustrator, and photographer.

 My works echo the timeless beauty of the masters while I also create contemporary work that collectors bond to in a deeply emotional way. I paint each piece for myself. The places I see in my mind and wish I could visit in person Each painting I create holds a place in my heart, and at times it is hard to give them up. Only by hearing my collectors tell me of their feelings for the painting does separating from my painting seem easier.

 Predominately a self-taught artist,  my work is traditional, abstract, and sometimes surreal. I use a variety of mediums and I am constantly exploring and experimenting with my work. Currently, I work in oil on large canvases producing abstract and surreal pieces that evoke an otherworldly sense of place. I hang my work in my home surrounding myself with these places that only exist in my imagination.
