ABOUT ENRIQUE ZALDIVAR:  Enrique Zaldivar is a Cuban painter based in the United States.  Zaldivar's paintings are characterized and inspired by the presence of nature in general - not to copy it, but to transform it through his eyes and his mind, to give us a unique and unrepeatable creation. We see in his works an intense and particular use of color, with a conscious use of complementary colors creating harmony and balance. Vibrant colors illuminate the canvas, a mixture of the tropical light of Cuba and the explosion of autumn colors in the United States.  For Zaldivar, each stroke is a way of reflecting life in its wide spectrum of situations, showing us its inner world and Zaldivar’s unique philosophy of life.
