Artist Statement for Gonzalo Contreras Del Solar

Late 1955 my eyes peeped in to this world. Since then, they have learned by capturing flashes from the masters, but the influence of Vincent Van Gogh and Ansel Adams work has forged my technique.

When I capture the images, all my senses are at work, enjoying every moment. To view the finished work, I replace sounds and aromas with Rock music and a glass of red wine.
