“Red Schwinn, Telluride” - Mary Kenez

Manny ValenzuelaBorn 1963 and raised in Tucson, ArizonaHispanic HeritagePrincipal works are acrylic on canvas paintings,cast bronze and welded steel sculpture. “Passion for the Gaucho, simplicity and emotional complexity, this is the basis of my art. The central element is a minimal silhouette of a cowboy wearing a gaucho hat. Adding vibrant colors and position-ing multiple characters together stir emotion. This is the starting point for my artwork; from here it is

constantly evolving. My gaucho characters started with individ-ual colors. Currently I’m mixing the colors within each character to bring out more depth making the subject more vibrant and dimensional. This takes my paintings in a new and exciting direction while keeping true to my passion for the Gaucho.”

Manny is a dynamic, Contemporary Artist. His sculptures and paintings are inspired by his colorful heritage. “Many of my paintings are metaphors of personal relationships that convey a message using western influences. I love using my artwork to express that special bond between a parent and his/her kids. Bright colors and textures are mixed in a contemporary fashion creating a unique interpretation of the world around us. The combination of subject and technique brings character and flair to a room while still embracing a deeper meaning. Everyone has something to say I just prefer to communicate with metal or paint.” “I mainly work with western figures because of the poetic lifestyle they lead. It appears simple yet contains a complexity that goes beyond what seems obvious. I love creating paintings that stir emotion. It’s a great feeling to know you’ve touched someone’s heart or put a smile on their face. My style is minimalistic because of its ability to best convey the message with very little distraction. Some of the designs are derived from childhood memories and others represent my relationship with my own kids.” Pre-historic art, western icons, and personal life experiences influence the designs for his sculp-ture. A contemporary touch coupled with a southwestern flavor is evident in his artwork. His contemporary abstract pieces consist of visual metaphors, symbolizing both personal and global representations. Manny creates sculpture using welded steel and cast bronze. These mediums are selected for their permanency and value. He is involved in every step of the process to ensure the highest level of quality. His goal is to create artwork that provides enjoyment and a sound investment.

I see colors...I’ve loved photography and the outdoors for as long as I can remember...My photography is a documentation of my travels and adventures in...vivid color and sometimes not. Telluride is so full of color and beautyit’s easy to be inspired here. I fi nd inspiration around every bend and in everyday I’m fortunate enough to spend here. Each season brings new colors, new light and new photographic opportunities.
