Information
Hamilton Aguiar (1965) was
born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. In 1987 he moved to
the United States to pursue his passion of art. During
his many years of studying art and working in art
restoration, Aguiar began to explore various painting
techniques.
His current series of paintings reaches
a new and unique level. Aguiar applies silver leaf
over the entire background of his linen canvases and
then creates washes and shadows with oil paint. The
images radiate a dramatic light due to the interaction
between the richness of the oils and the mercurial
nature of the silver.
The composition of his paintings is
inspired by the changing seasons of natural landscapes,
which are interpreted in a powerfully monochromatic
content.
Already acquired by numerous private
collectors and represented by many prestigious galleries
across the United States, Hamilton Aguiar's art is
quickly receiving well-deserved national recognition.
