South Florida Visual Artist Amauri Torezan Inspires Us With His Minimalist, Retro Abstract Style

 

'Magic City', 60 x 60 inches, acrylic on canvas

Brazilian-born artist Amauri Torezan creates impressive geometric and organic compositions evoking a sense of depth, as though the flatly painted shapes were eternally suspended in space. His influences range from the work of the pioneers of abstract art to the Brazilian modernists, not only in the visual arts, but also architects such as Oscar Niemeyer and the landscape designer/painter Roberto Burle Marx.

In his work, shapes and lines seem to float around each other as if they were suspended in space. Layers of contrasting colors enhance the exuberant depth effect, creating a sensation of vibrant life.

Torezan’s works have been exhibited at The Baker Museum, Coral Springs Museum of Art as well as in art galleries and international art fairs. Torezan has painted monumental murals in the Wynwood Arts District and the luxury hotel The Dalmar.

Among his artistic collaborations are monumental public murals and partnerships with brands such as the Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer.

Torezan’s art is held in corporate and private collections worldwide.
