Jose Maria Casas
 
 
About the Artist

Jose Maria Casas a.k.a. "two-" is a young artist from Mar del Plata, Argentina. Born in 1981 he had showed his works in his country and in the world. He had walked his own path trough the world of the abstractions. Trying to avoid common places, Jose Maria has developed a very strong personal stile which distinguishes by its stunning but clear colour use, the balance and equilibrium of his compositions that create that "everything in it`s right place sensation", and the greater expressionism of his works. His tools of the trade are mainly acrylics, oils, and watercolours, and his creations `re strongly influenced by music. He had showed his work on: Turkey, Puerto Rico, Denmark, Italy, Spain, USA, Canada, Honduras, Uruguay, and off course in Argentina.
