Giovanny Lopez (b.1990) is a Colombian born artist, whose compositions through exploring the potential of oil paint to achieve a luminous transparency akin to watercolor, harnesses the inherent qualities of oil to create a visual experience that defies traditional expectations.

 

His works draw from memory, art history, and contemporary life to create emotionally charged portraits through a strong use of color and intuitive mark making. Exploring themes of identity, belonging and individuality through historical and contemporary influences.

​

Also, continuing to embrace the sketch component of his process, deliberately leaving traces of line work within the layers of paint. These remnants serve as a testament to the intricate construction of humanity, revealing the delicate threads that weave together the individual in the portrait.
