Featured Artist

Vidal Bedoya Altamirano

About the Cover:

Vidal Bedoya Altamirano explain that, "in my art one can expect violent beauty and unusual tenderness. I am inspired by my ancestral Peruvian culture; I express it in my paintings without intellectualizing it. My art also depicts experiences from my social environment." Leaves drift languidly in the lemon light of late afternoon, and a copper light emanates from a verdant canopy in the enchanted forest scene in Warm Sunset, seen on the cover.

Warm Sunset, Calido Atardecer in Spanish, is oil and beeswax on canvas. Vidal Bedoya Altamirano's paintings can be viewed and purchased at www.Novica.com.
