Chilean - British artist Enrique Azócar.

Drawing was my original expression. I drew a lot but I do not do preparatory studies, as I prefer to resolve everything on the canvas. Sometimes I changed composition or colour because a better idea of the subject has turned up two days later.

I want my artwork give an immediate visual impact and yet to slowly reveal itself to the viewer. It slowly unveils themselve through a layered of glazes, mixing marble dust that captures light for reflection applied in a multitude of tiny marks producing a stronger luminosity.

In September 2010, Enrique has started his MA in Fine Art at Northumbria University.
