A brief introduction to DOMINGO PARADA’S ARTWORK
Domingo Parada is a Bolivian fine artist who resides in United States.
He has an extensive artistic biography as he has been showing for many years his artworks at art galleries, museums and other prestigious institutions in America, Asia and Europe. His work is comprised of magnificent artworks which were born in his mind and personal experiences after a precise study of Geometry, proportions, and a profound knowledge of composition and color. He has always been able to project a restless spirit that has never been detained by time or adversity. Mr. Parada is a clear example of tireless artistic work. Each piece, like a poem, deserves the analysis and thoughtfulness of the observer. Maybe we may say that each of his paintings can tell a different story. This book pretends to show the world – thanks to digital media – the work of an artist whose sincerity and devotion to the arts and culture has no limits.
Dr. Raúl M. Oyuela, A.FIAP Director – Museum of the Americas July, 2021
Artist’s Statement I believe that, as a painter, my creative work is the fruit of my awareness of the world which surrounds us. But the world is not only a visual world. It is also the immeasurable world of our interior mind, its landscape of emotions, imagination and fantasy. All that exists in the Universe is constantly created by energy. This energy manifests itself in billions of vibrations, among them is the light. Light is color. The infinite colors of the spectrum together with the geometric forms that are essence of the Universe give me a palette that I can use to demonstrate the moments of my conscious experience. My work can be interpreted by consciously or un-consciously grasping the
vibrations of the light in all of its forms and colors as if they were a form of pure music.
