NARCISSIST BY NATURE - PATO PAEZ

PASSPORT TO THE ARTS via The NewYorker

Spend a great day previewing the hottest new artists on the scene in New York.   The New Yorker has a long history of supporting Artists before they become household names.   Passport to the Arts on Saturday November 7th is like a cliff notes version of Gallery life in Chelsea New York.   You might not find out everything you need to know about extremely talented artists - but you can see an example of their work and meet with many of the artist as they preview their latest work.

One talented artist participating is Pato Paez of IMURI International.   Pato has made a name for himself creating one of a kind murals for commercial and private spaces for those in the know.   His sense of color and proportion are what have kept his fans coming back,  and making then want to live with his murals.   Selma Blair by Pato Paez

Pato is also a talented portrait artist.   His sense of abstraction and again -use of color lead to the creation of dreamy portraits that have an upbeat and creative feel - somehow melancholy and joyous at the same time.

One well known fan of Paez is actress Selma Blair.   Paez painted the actress in his signature style - flies & dragonflies are common symbols in his work.   The beautiful painting is on display at the MaxMara btq. on Madison Avenue at 68th Street in NYC.  If you visit MaxMara - check out one the amazing cashmere coats on display.   This global fashion house excells in coat design.  It was a camel coat that founder Achille Maramotti sold out of the trunk of his car that started the collection.

Meet Pato at the Passport to the Arts event on Saturday November 7th.   click above to find out how to attend!

Pato Paez - One NY Artist Who's Work Is On AND Off The Wall!

The creative mind can express itself in a myriad of forms.   We think of Dancers, Painters, and Writers as the creatives... but do you think Doctors?  Why don't we?   After all, who is more creative and known to think outside the box than doctors who research and study for cures and advances in medical technology?    One medical student who traded a future of charts and stethoscopes for palettes and paint is  Patricio Paez.   Before moving to NYC to pursue his career in abstract / modern art, Paez completed medical school in his native Argentina.   One look at his work leaves no question that this is the expression of a creative mind.   His use of color and broad brush strokes gives an excited and passionate feeling to its viewers.   There is an energy that comes through on the canvas... which is an extension of the artist himself who is a ball of energy in his everyday life.    With five years of solo exhibitions under his belt - Paez has come into his own sense of style and pace of work.    In 2006 Paez founded IMURI INTERNATIONAL as the company to handle his business , but also added so much more to his portfolio.   With Imuri, Pato has been able to do what so many artists are never able to accomplish by offering a more commercial aspect to his work.   Imuri offers large and small scale murals  for residential and commercial use.   Its no surprise many restaurants and offices have responded and commissioned the one of a kind creations for their establishments.    The murals also give an apartment or house a piece of art that can really become part of the place in a way maybe a canvas cannot.   For more information on IMURI or for upcoming shows  visit the website - IMURI INTERNATIONAL
