The artist

Eduardo Abad was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1959.

The son of Canarian parents, he began his artistic training in 1975 at the Van Gogh Academy of Drawing and Painting in that city, under the tutelage of the Grand Master and Canarian muralist Antonio Torres. There he studied the traditional techniques of Drawing, Painting and styles from Classical and Baroque to Impressionism and Cubism.

Hence his training under the classical academic method.
In 1982 his profession as a Mechanical Engineer partially separated him from his vital vocation for painting and it is in recent years when the balance returns to its original place, with a figurative style where women, birds in flight and the unique landscapes of the jungles and tepuis that distinguish his native Venezuela, dominate as themes.

He currently resides in Tenerife and works with acrylics on canvas.
Passionate about photography and mountaineering, he focuses his passion on the unique places that the amazing Venezuelan geography offers by capturing these elements in his works, under the concept that he personally calls “Pintugraphies”, which refers to paintings structured from his own photographs.
His vision is to transcend these images, altering contrasts and over-saturating colors in a balance between reality and artistic perception that intentionally moves away from hyperrealism.

Most of his works are currently shown in the USA, Spain and Japan.
