Art from the Soul …  and from the Heart… !

____________________________________________________

"William Gálvez. O., is a classically trained painter, (autodidact for the most part) with Renaissance overtones, who has managed to float into the twentieth first century.

At an early age he did a short stint the Conservatorio de Bellas Artes, one of the most prestigious Art Academies in Colombia, only to be interrupted by his inevitably trip to the United States, where his reputation had preceded him.

In the last few years, Gálvez has given full play to his mastery of classic realism, which he sees as truth and beauty. His works of Art have a jewel-like quality seldom seem in painting today. He is unashamed of his prodigious technical skills, in fact, he flaunts it, almost daring the viewer not to become involved in the richness, luminosity, and minute details of his trompe-l’ oeil style.

  He is now a Member Artist of The acclaimed (CAC) California Art Club & of (OPA) Oil Painters of America. Appreciation in value has been the rule for Gálvez’s paintings and, his reputation continues to flourish in the discriminating world of Art, will remain the case"

Artist Statement

I paint because I have the urge to express my feelings, intuitions, emotions and perceptions, in a way that is understood and upheld at first glance. Painting/creating is an essential part of my life. Is it because I have been around ART since birth? My Father, my brother, and two sisters have been/are full flesh artists.

My ART continues to evolve around the beauty that I find in nature everywhere. And I don't mean "Beauty" in a literal way, thus beauty can be as intangible as just a mere thought or an idea, and still be an integral part of a composition. I find beauty and inspiration in old and vintage objects. Old objects that have been tarnished with charm, with emotions, with stories and with freedom. I say freedom because these objects give me hundreds of ideas for creations and I can place them anywhere I need them.

Although I am artistically classic, I do like to explore with other approaches, but reinvesting in the tradition of realism. Color, value and contrast are very important to me, they give me the volume and strength that am looking for. I breathe, think, dream, digest and live ART and I want to share my passion for ART with everyone by creating the very best that I can offer …

In the last few years I have been accepting and creating patron's commissions of objects and belongings that has added that special  personal touch to their works of Art.  "Also, I have decided to pass along all that hard work, pain, struggles, frustrations, but mostly joy and gratification to a group of very dedicated students, that as I once had that interest/anxiety for creating and seeing the development of the metaphor of a white canvas, becoming something so real that you can feel and could almost take off the canvas. Now, I would love to invite you to enrich your investment for you, your heirs and family enjoyment for years to come, by submitting a commission for that "Very Special Work of Art" that you have always wanted...

Upon Request, now am also engaged in the Fine Art Restoration field, in particular of older oil paintings in need of repairing; tears, holes, scratches, cleaning, re-varnishing etc... 

Note: You may want to see my painting method on "you tube", just type my name ...

I am,William Gálvez Ordóñez.
