IVALDO
Ivaldo Robles was raised in Mexico were his passion for art began. He started as a natural artist using many different materials, applying new textures and experimenting with various techniques while learning and evolving into his own unique style that has elevated his work to a whole new plateau.
Ivaldo works with oil and mixed-media elements to express different textures combined with movements and layers that create windows of colorful dimensions. In the process Ivaldo sculpts and moves around the canvas searching for himself in deep moments of inspiration where painting becomes an adrenaline-fueled event of skill and dexterity, From there, the piece progresses along with his soul through the unknown moments that are fed by internal visualization, passion, and free flowing emotions.
His works on glass and frame are created by similar processes. By working on both sides of the glass, the strength and position of the light creates an additional dimension to the piece by creating shadows on the canvas behind it..
Each painting is an exploration of its own materiality and the result is a unique piece that creates a sense of wonder. Ivaldo feels that this approach puts attention on the process and culture of art itself as a natural project of the subconscious extracting the great convolutions of life.
Ivaldo's work is collected internationally and can be seen in various galleries and spaces around Florida and he has graced the cover of Orlando Arts Magazine. His work is in the permanent collection of the Amway Center in Orlando, He was also commissioned to create a painting for the Mayor of Orlando which is in his private suite in the Amway Center.
His goals are to provide for his family and loved ones and to use his work to help others with positive life purposes.
