About the Artist

Osvaldo González is a self-taught artist, based in Hollywood, FL. Working in a melancholic vein, He creates whimsical and surreal pieces of digital art, showing complex and emotional scenarios of the human condition and strange dreamlike figurations.

He has a knack for creating dark mysterious stories. His use of layering to incorporate depth, tonal qualities, and aged effects are decisive and work together to produce otherworldly narrative art with a delicate and detailed sense of atmosphere and transparency.

His passion for the ancient is present in his mix-media art. He uses acrylics, clay, found objects, to obtain dark compositions.

“He is a manipulator, a composer, a juggler of images. He knows what he wants and gets it. He creates outrageous, preposterous, improbable scenarios of everyday life in some remote or parallel universe where things evolved differently and with a different logic. The events in his narrative work require the viewer to interpret the message for himself. Sometimes gloomy, sometimes obscure, always with an urgent vitality… An impending future we may not want to see. A dark sense of humor also plays its part in the work of this accomplished artist.”

“The surrealism of Osvaldo’s dreamscapes is grounded by his restrained color palette. There’s a highly personal and weirdly compelling style on display here.”

Statement

“Most important for me is the act of creating a good concept and bring it to reality. The birth of an idea is a celebration of art. Light and dark coexist in my artwork. ”
