Andres Lopez was born on July 6, 1971. As a child, he developed a deep love for the beauty of the countryside and the exquisite architecture of his hometown. He participated in drawing contests at the tender age of 9 where landscapes were always his favorite theme. When he became an adolescent he began taking art classes at the local art school and later decided to devote himself to painting and craftwork to support their parents financially. Captivated by his love for the beauty of nature, interpreted with a contemporary vision of painting, his latest works are what he sees even in the most common scenes. The close relationship of life and who we are with the natural world that surrounds us and asks us to respect it and take care of it.
