With his pleasing geometric aesthetic and vibrant color palette, artist Wuilfredo Soto takes Abstract Expressionism and translates it to suit the modern world and his own sensibilities. An autodidact, Soto keeps his style plastic so as to encompass the wide range of ideas and feelings he wishes to actualize on canvas. Without limits, he is able to pick the range of colors that suit his purpose and allows them to become the main players in his pieces. His compositions are carefully considered and Soto is diligent in his attention to detail – his is not a careless abstraction, but a creation of distinct and powerful pattern and design, influenced by contemporary culture and architecture. He seems to relish the acrylics he uses to create the paintings, their intensity and boldness of color, the distinct edges of the brushstrokes he draws across the surface. This confidence of creation and his clarity of vision imbue his works with immense power.
Wuilfredo Soto currently lives and works in his native Caracas, Venezuela.
