ROBERTO  AMARAL

      I began creating art at two years of age when my mother placed a crayon in my hand and encouraged me to draw.  At age 12 I began to seriously develop as a budding artist continuing through my junior high school years. During high school I took as many as three art classes a semester and was taken under the wing of one nurturing teacher who encouraged me to experiment with different media and techniques while expressing my artistic vision. It was during that time that I became fascinated with abstract and modern design after being introduced to a world of art exhibits, galleries and museums.

      Upon graduating from high school I travelled extensively throughout Europe which expanded my creativity. I resumed my art studies by attending Los Angeles City College and completing a 2-year Art Program. I recently moved my studio from the Los Angeles area to

Rancho Mirage, CA.  I find living here in the Coachella Valley to be very inspirational because I gravitate to mid-century modern design. This stylistic influence is reflected in my art and home studio. My work has included both residential and commercial commisions.

The art I create is a series of lines and shapes ranging from free-form and organic to precise and geometric. The painting techniques I use contrast from gritty and experimental to sleek and calculated. The result of these eclectic elements are abstract expressionistic and contemporary modern works of art.
