THE ART AS AN IDEAL: HOMAGE TO LlFE.

Benjamin Orozco Lopez, young artist inheritor of the training and tradition in art that allows the knowledge of materials, the technical mastery, and specially the gift of life from his teacher-friend, his father. Benjamín has a sense that knows how to discover and then interpret with his own ideas and creativity his interior world and his love for art.

Benjamin Orozco Lopez loves everything that means life, and for him, is life a brilliant skin, is life a look and the silk of hair extended as a black ink waterfall over a woman's back; a fabric that pleats over a body, a hand that makes a painting or directs an orchestra... A smile is Iife, the same way as is life a flower's bouquet that rests in a landscape over a canvas of the earth or the sky, for him there's life in the brilliance of a star. He discovers the life in each and every environment which he transforms in painting over canvas, wood or paper. The same way in graphite or oil, he manages virtuosity in his hyperreal work.

His work doesn't stay in obsessive representation or mimetic illusionism, but anchors in a reality full of Iife, it is made with a technique that astonishes for the perfection as well as for the sensuous force that holds the expression and psychology of the represented character or the force and presence of objects. The same way as the senses of the spectator, Benjamin Orozco Lopez -in his work- holds the environments with their simplicity or complexity, just as the life presents them to him. In contrast to hyperrealism, his work is not embellished with symbols, his goal is the perfection of the labor, and his inspiration is a homage to light, color, happiness and life, his ideal is art.
