In New York, Eduardo has exhibited in galleries, cultural centers, restaurants, nightclubs, on the streets of Manhattan and in his Open Studio Series in Long Island City, Queens. Artist Statement: I paint, working mostly with oils and acrylics. I tend to gravitate around some particular subjects, such as portraits, nudes, pedestrian... seeking a dialogue between abstract and figurative elements. In terms of technique I like to address the relationship between figure and background through the use of negative space, gesture in the brushstroke and geometry...trying to make it all work together to create a sense of coherence.
