JUAN CARLOS MACIAS
Macias' art is described, as if the people in his paintings have been pulled out from reality, and their expressions demonstrate something indescribable. His characters seem to not suffer much. Their actions, if any, are every minimal and absurd. As a painter, he can be described as an Expressionist. [Taken from an excerpt by Maria Minera]. Macias studied Architecture and Plastic Arts at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico and Technical Graphic Arts and Painting at Los Angeles Valley College.
What I loved about his art work, is that he transcends indescribable human emotions. Their expressions, or lack of, make us think about what his characters are actually feeling. In his Immigrant Experience series, Juan Carlos provides a painting titled Sueños Humedos/ Wet Dreams. The painting speaks for itself.
