THE ART

The Nudes

The chiaroscuro nudes are at the soul of Tico Torres' art ......he approaches each nude from a distinctive point of view; some are classic, timeless narratives, others are sensually stirring works and yet some are so raw and primal they move us to our core. In Tico's hands, the fleeting, imperfect, and fragile condition of nakedness gains a noble immortality and a level of perfection that transcends its mere physicality. In his latest nudes, Tico strives to depict the inner peace he has achieved of late. Many of his major paintings are inspired by the two most important women in his life, his mother and grandmother. One extremely important nude is a piece called "Dora" based on Nicoletta Braschi's character in the film Life Is Beautiful.

Characters & Icons

Tico is an incredibly versatile painter; his styles change and evolve as his life experience grow. He absorbs every person, place and experience in his amazing life's journey and then brings these characters and surroundings alive on his canvases; complete with all the nuance and emotion that inspired him to paint them in the first place. We experience Tico's world and journey through his unique visual dialog, sometimes playful and whimsical and sometimes fragile and sensitive and sometimes profound and moving. Whether he is painting one of his quirky characters, an iconic question mark or a historical or cultural figure; Tico infuses his subjects with a humanity and vulnerability unlike any other contemporary artist.

Angst & Ecstasy

Tico's sometimes draws us into the deepest caverns of our souls; his works inspires some of our most intense memories and emotions many of which are beautifully painful. He blurs the line between ecstasy and anguish to reveal images that exist on the edge of the human condition and the truth that only those images can reveal. Critics maintain that his intense style and raw emotion are reminiscent of the German Expressionist styles of Bacon and Munch. At the same time, Tico’s manages to accomplish all of this is a very unique painterly style; imbuing his canvasses with rich color, surface texture and sublime composition.

MY CUBA (Tico Mural)

Quote by Tico:

"My Cuba, was created for my family and those that lost their homes and were separated from friends and family.
The Ideals in the beginning were welcomed with the open arms along with Che's thoughts for change, but that soon evaporated.
The wall represents the deterioration of time without country. With the hopes and desires of the Cuban Ideal in its painful graffiti.... "HOPE"
