Hector Bernal
(click for larger images) Hector was born in CD. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico and came to El Paso at the early age of 12 where he attended Aoy Elementary School in south El Paso. After graduating from Bowie High School in 1968, he got married and became a graphic artist for The Popular and The White House Department Stores and put his painting aside for many years. After resuming his painting, he became a professional artist in 1986. As an expressionist painter, Hector's work is most influenced by the works of European Masters, paying particular attention to the mood of his artwork. In 2007 Hector's Christmas Globe was chosen to be shown at The White House where he was an honored guest. Painting has always been the language of his inner being. "It is my gift not my profession. Modernism and technology dazzle everyone, but we remain as artists to say who we are with our hands, our imagination and with our vision. "Painting to me is a process of freedom by which I express not simply by what I see but how I feel and see with my eyes. Through painting, I want to express what moves me most…the human aspect." Hector strongly believes that a man, as an artist, should be concerned with the problems of social struggle. |

Alberto Escamilla
(click for larger images) A professional artist in El Paso since 1978, Alberto Escamilla is one of the leading impressionist painters in our border region. Several years into his career, Escamilla began an in-depth study of the lives and works of European Masters, especially those considered French Impressionists or "Independents" as they preferred to be called. Because he felt such a strong connection with the way these artists believed and painted, Escamilla focused on mastering their techniques. From this point forward, his work entered a new dimension, which gave rise to his own experimentation with color. Landscapes and gardens painted by Escamilla emphasize his strong understanding of color. Objects remain the same, but as the light of day changes, so do the colors used to portray them. Escamilla's technique involves giving priority to colors, allowing the color to evoke the form rather than the form dictating color. Using small brushes and taps of paint on the canvas, the artist continually works on mastering the blending of colors, the definitive brushstrokes and his choice of subject matter in order to replicate the impressionistic style which he believes offers the viewer a sense of beauty and tranquility. Following the versatility of the "Independents", Escamilla paints a variety of subjects. He may choose to portray ballerinas in the style of Degas, or like Monet, who produces numerous paintings of his gardens, Escamilla finds simple beauty in the familiar cotton fields in El Paso's Upper and Lower Valleys or the bluebonnets of East Texas. Escamilla considers landscapes his specialty, as this is his favorite subject. |
