Humor might be considered to be a nearly constant element in Alfredo's work. He often paints angels, some of whom have traded in their wings for bikinis or tongas, and others who seem to be working on loosing their wings because of drinking or drug abuse.
One might say that Brewster was born to be an artist, his American mother having met his Mexican father while both were art students at the Rhode Island School of Design. His mother, aunt, brother and a first cousin are currently professional painters and his sister is a photographer, with his father having become an architect in Guadalajara where Brewster was raised.
David Leonardo started showing his work at Galeria Pacifico in 2007, and in November of 2008 presented the largest solo exhibit ever shown in the gallery, a collection of 56 pieces that ranged in size from 12 x 12 inches to 4 x 12 feet, and from the totally abstract to the highly figurative and detailed, and encompassing the expressionistic to the romantically realistic.
Hugo Barajas was always drawing as a small child in Guadalajara and started painting canvases when he was only seven years old. He was raised by his grand parents from a very early age, and although showing obvious talent in art, he also revealed a strong sense of independence that resulted in him leaving home when only sixteen.
Through my work,I can bring out my own evolution as a human being and my understanding of each individual that has left something in my mind and in my heart.
Luis’s fascination for sculpture began at home in Guadalajara in the 1980’s. He initiated his studies at the Cabañas Cultural Institute. He then left Mexico to travel and to further his education in London, France, Italy, Greece, Israel and Egypt. His studies included working in bronze as well as jewelry design and silver casting techniques. He went on to win an award at the International Jewelry Exhibition in Guadalajara. Luis has exhibited his works all over Europe and Mexico and is on permanent exhibition at Galeria Pacifico.
At ninety years old and as the creator of seven monumental sculptures on permanent public display in Puerto Vallarta, it could be said that Ramiz Barquet is the artistic patriarch of the community. His first public sculpture, Nostalgia, was the second sculpture to be mounted on the Vallarta`s ocean promenade, the Malecon, when it was installed there in 1984.
Roberto Vazquez is a talented painter in his mid forties originally from Tlaquepaque and Guadalajara who now lives in Puerto Vallarta. His soft spoken and gentle nature obscures the fact that he was once a talented fighter training for Mexico’s Olympic boxing team. The same hands that now create with such sensitivity once broke noses and knocked opponents to the mat.He enrolled in classes at the school of the famous museum of that city, el Hospicio Cultural Cabanas. This training along with his lifelong interest in Mexico’s indigenous cultures helped to shape his painting style.
Virginia Aparicio joined the artist roster of Galeria Pacifico within a few months of its opening in 1987 and has been a major presence there ever since. She is in her mid 50`s
and has been a practicing artist since her late teens. The vast majority of her work is devoted to female subjects, focusing not only on feminine beauty, but on the unique visual strength of the female torso in its combination of curves and angles.
