Mauricio Esperon “Parallel Lives”
Mixed media on canvas
Signed verso by artist
22 x 29
A vertically structured abstract composition built through layered planes of color, texture, and gesture. Broad fields of gray and metallic neutrals are interrupted by strong bands of black and saturated red, creating a sense of rhythm and architectural balance throughout the surface. Thick brushwork, scraped textures, and exposed layers give the painting a tactile quality, while the restrained palette keeps the composition grounded and modern. Presented in a silver frame that complements the industrial tonal range of the work.
About the Artist:
Mauricio Esperon is a painter and photographer based in Staunton, Virginia. Originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, he first came to the United States at 19 through a Mennonite Church exchange program and later settled in Virginia in 2005 after living in Miami. He began painting in 2002 after being introduced to art by a coworker, going on to study graphic arts and work in printing. Esperon creates abstract, expressionist work inspired by everyday objects and ordinary surroundings, often painting on wood panels with acrylic and oil and repurposing older canvases into new pieces. He paints part-time while working as a house painter, treating blank walls as another kind of canvas. Currently completing a triptych he began in 2002, Esperon continues to exhibit his work and aims to leave behind meaningful art his children can be proud of.
