back to Jose Luis Nunez's main page

Jose Luis Nunez is an artistic painter that enjoys color and the vibrations of light and shade. Color means life and radiant plenitude in his paintings. He usually paints with oils and acrylics because they allow him to use thick layers of paint and to leave traces of brush strokes.

He likes to paint an unlimited range of topics that reflect his broad interests in art and life. The presence of light and shade is normally the leading factor in his paintings. The fascination of the effects of light on the painting subjects is what brought him to paint.

Whenever it is possible, he prefers to paint directly from the subject. Normally he sets his models in his studio. Therefore, for landscaping, he does a lot of plein air painting. He does smaller paintings in the spot and then works from them and the photos he takes for bigger paintings.

Born in Mexico City, José Luis began painting at the age of thirteen. He studied Art and Philosophy in Spain, Italy and Mexico. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Phisolophy. He did graduate studies in Painting and Metal Engraving at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He has had more than 40 exhibits in different countries, including individual and Group Exhibits in the United States, Brazil (2000-2002), Argentina (1999), Costa Rica (1998) and Mexico which makes him truly an international artist.

Jose Luis Nunez has gained recognition from different juries and has been awarded several times in the USA and in Brazil.
