GUILLO PEREZ III

American (born Dominican Republic), 1981Currently living and working in Ybor City, Florida, USA.
Guillo Pérez III is a Dominican-American artist who blends the fantastical with the real in his magical expressionist, figurative oil on canvas paintings. Pérez was born in 1981 in Santo Domingo and raised in Queens, New York. He has studied painting from an early age with his grandfather, a renowned artist, and his father, both of whom are oil painters. Pérez's artistic technique, Bauhaus Budō, is based on the technical foundation of Bauhaus theory and combines the fantastical with the real in his neo-expressionist canvas paintings. In his works, color and line play equal roles, creating vivid and emotive elements with hues and brushstrokes juxtaposed in intriguing ways. At the heart of Pérez's art is a sense of peace, encouraging the viewer to contemplate the deep vortex of existence. Pérez has also studied graphic design, marketing, and fine arts, and has worked with various mentors and artists to hone his skills. He exhibits his artwork internationally and has received awards for his work. Pérez currently works and resides in Ybor City, Florida.
