Nestor Toro

"I create art that transports the viewer to a mental landscape of contemplation. One of my biggest influences is travel. Travel opens up your mind and frees the imagination to new experiences. Getting lost in a huge city and exploring. Nature and organic movement such as smoke, water, magnetic fields, even the global migration of animals and the way birds and fish move in unison influence me. Chaos theory and time itself are all influences on my mental process when working on a painting."

"I create artwork outside the range of most and I explore that grey area that usually goes unnoticed." - Nestor Toro

Bio: American abstract painter - Nestor Toro' (1976)

His work explores the dichotomy of randomness and order existing at the same moment and captures the complexity that must be there because nothing is really absolute black and white. To view the world in that way is too easy and convenient and as a result too limiting. Nestor's work shows this within his extraordinary works.

Self taught with years of practice developing unique techniques. and studio time in UCLA and OTIS in Los Angeles, CA and several studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

My original works are currently in private collections and galleries all over the world with paintings on 5 continents in over 30 countries with recent sales in the United States, France, Italy, Japan, India, Australia, England, Malta and Germany. Work used for "Nonprofit Quarterly" magazine cover.

I have been hired to do many commissions and as a consultant for collector's all over the world. I recently completed a 22 pieces commission for a collector in India, working on location in India to check the location and then returned to the studio in Los Angeles to work on the works.
