 
Mexican painter, Israel Vazquez, is a remarkable artistic voice in an age of confusion and unrest. He taps into the modern psyche through his abstract, mixed media works and delivers us a calm contemplation. His distinctive approach, often reminiscent of Cy Twombly and the Abstract Expressionists, sketches and scrawls across the canvas, yet constructs peace within the chaos. Through the visual disorder comes an unusual elegance, each painterly movement requires a response and the composition builds towards a sense of completeness. With colorful spatters and strokes, he records each motion of his hand, infusing the painting with vigorous energy. Within some pieces we may discover natural or figural elements as beautiful female forms emerge from the layers of brushstrokes. "My painting is free, strong, conceptual," explains Vazquez, "with the only intention of showing and confirm in each canvas my personal feelings."
Israel Vazquez comes from a family steeped in the arts, and he is the youngest Mexican artist to have works in the permanent collection in the Louvre.
