About the Artist
Antonio Ugarte (b. 1961, Valencia, Venezuela; lives and works in Miami, FL)
Antonio Ugarte began his artistic career in Venezuela, where he studied drawing, painting,
photography, and sculpture. His work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout
Venezuela and the United States, as well as in Austria, Finland, France, Italy, Peru, and Spain.
In 1984, Ugarte was awarded the Drawing Prize at the 1st Biennial of Visual Arts in
Maracaibo, Venezuela, and in 2012 his painting Transition received recognition from the
International Association of Art Critics (AICA), Venezuela Chapter.
Ugarte is widely recognized for his meditative explorations of water, light, and
landscape—particularly in his celebrated Florida Landscapes series. His practice reflects a
poetic inquiry into nature’s spiritual and symbolic dimensions.
Critical Commentary
“These paintings are an invitation for a pause, for a meditation… a mystical appreciation of our
environment.”
— Axel Stein, 2023
Advisor to the Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art Market
“Only an artist who has carefully studied water’s behavior could turn its myriad appearances into
artistic truths.”
— Susana Benko, 2012
Art critic and researcher, Member of AICA
“In his paintings, he evokes a dance—sometimes joyful, sometimes solemn—reflecting life in
motion.”
— María Chiara Teodori, 2008
Poet
“Water and light merge into an essential equation: life and illumination.”
— Miriam Robles, 1997
Former Director, Museo Sacro de Caracas
“A revelation of water—its metaphorical power and visual ritual.”
— Juan Carlos Palenzuela, 1995
Art critic and researcher
“The surface—where color and light interact independently of drawing—acquires conceptual
significance.”
— Bélgica Rodríguez, 1993

Antonio Ugarte
Antonio Ugarte paints water as a reflection of the spirit, a form of meditation. He sees water as “a primordial element” in life and the physical environment as a source of both energy and serenity. Ugarte uses water as a resource to explore the “aesthetic treatment on the surface of the canvas” and, at the same time, the “connotations mysteriously left behind the surface to be discovered by the observer.”
The balance of realism and abstraction in Ugarte’s work reflects his simultaneous training in painting and photographic arts. His earlier works focused on the human athletic form, specifically athletes. Now, moving from “subject to element,” his paintings are immersed in the recurring theme of water.
Ugarte is originally from Caracas, Venezuela, and now lives and maintains a studio in Coral Gables. He is widely exhibited with numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States, Latin America, and Europe. Most recently, he returned from a commissioning project in Dubai. He maintains a strong following of collectors in Caracas, Dubai, London, Madrid, New York, Vienna, and throughout South Florida.
Ugarte’s work hangs in the Museum of Contemporary Art in his native Caracas and in the museum of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C.

48 x 104 in. / 4 x 8.6 ft (2 panels) "Chromatic Fantasy" Large Oil on Linen
By Alexis Portilla
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This is a beautiful, abstract expressionist oil painting on linen by Alexis Portilla. This piece is in 2 panels.
He obtained his Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990. His bold linear lines, use of symbols, pictographs and strong colors create atmospheric abstracts. Influenced by the emotion of artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture.
“Using simple forms and creating swathes of rich texture, Alexis Portilla builds atmospheric abstract paintings that convey a sense of time having passed. Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present.” “In some of his smaller works, Portilla experimented with beeswax. Applying a smooth coat of wax over the surface, the artist sealed in his sparse, abstract forms, while leaving whole sections empty, the images hover in the wax, as if frozen in time, yet the pieces have a fresh, almost dewy look.”
- Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review.
The artist has shown in group and solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally. His works have been commissioned by major corporations, universities and for private collections.
