Antonio Carreno
b. 1963
Carreno’s paintings provide a fresh perspective with spontaneous, organic abstractions emphasizing large, bold sweeping strokes. By experimenting with various tools, he has discovered a way to push the thick pigment across the canvas quickly in a controlled yet organic flow. He draws inspiration from landscapes and nature while experimenting with light and color. Carreno is a native of the Dominican Republic and has works in several public collections including the Latin American Museum of Modern Art in Washington, D.C., the Dominican American Institute of Culture and The Reserved Bank of the Dominican Republic, Dillard University, New Orleans, LA, as well as many private collections.
