| Rafael Holguin |

I was born in Paris in 1961.
Living in London in the seventies gave me the opportunity to appreciate its museums, its gardens,its culture.
I studied law,was a lawyer, member of the Paris Bar association but art become my longing and now since nearly two decades I am living out of my art.

| About the Artist |
Well, I am still alive, this means I enjoy, I suffer, I love, I see the world around and within, yes within, inside towards the center should be the most important as all around is finally much ado about nothing. |

Tiles
2000 Acrylics on tiles 30x24cm |
|
I used old tiles from a Paris building.
What inspired my work, here, on an early sunday promenade was the beauty of the material.
I thought while looking at them at what those tiles saw as they were about 200 years old.
What I did, later, was to wash them with warm water.
I looked at them and wrote with my brush what I saw on them, using little colour so as to remain with the original material.
I like to use materials such as this one but others too.
