About
Combining photorealistic oil painting on canvas with the illusion of computer-rendered graphics, Jose Carlos Zubiaur’s original artworks transcend the depth of a hyperrealistic three-dimensional object. With every brush stroke, Zubiaur strategically maintains the artificial feeling of high gloss fabricated objects and uses this emphasis on highlights and shadows to create the illusion of a light source passing by or the subject rotating in space. Within each artwork, there are no walls or boundaries, simply endless space surrounding the changing subjects which seem to exist in both the digital and physical world simultaneously.
Zubiaur created this one-of-a-kind 39-inch square original artwork with oil paint on canvas. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides are painted black and it does not require framing. The artist signs it on the back of the artwork. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental US and global shipping are available.
Born in Orizaba, Mexico in 1987, Zubiaur was always passionate about creating art with technology. At the University of Veracruz, he studied digital video, visual effects, 3D animation, and filmmaking. Now, based in Mexico City, he has translated these skills into creating unique paintings of artificial fantasy.
Zubiaur says of his art,” My work is based on the concept of identity as a process of constant change, where the perception of the individual mutates constantly through symbolic systems and abstract language, where we can reinvent ourselves. I pretend to direct the meaning of the work as a specific creation that works in its singular context. I create a continuous development of the work as a language that is independent of a specific symbolic system or a mixture of theoretical conjectures.”
Zubiaur's work has been selected in the Second Biennial of Art Veracruz, XVI Biennial of Painting Rufino Tamayo, "Mexico: The Future is Unwritten: Contemporary Artists from Mexico" in Venice, Italy. His work has been exhibited in Mexico, United States, Italy, Argentina and Cuba.
