Bernie Lopez - Acrylic Fine Artist
“Being an artist, I like to recreate nature to give one a different perspective of a certain subject or landscape. I'm inspired by nature's work, whether it's a fiery sunset or a cloudy horizon. I enjoy the process of taking what's in front of me and presenting it in my own design.”
Bernie Lopez was born in Escondido, Ca. Lopez displayed an interest in the natural world around him as he was growing up. At an early age, he started sketching his observations and discovered his passion to create art.
In his 20’s, Lopez traveled around the Western United States, absorbing the beauty that it offered. Inspired by his journey, he became interested in landscape and abstract painting.
Working with acrylics, Lopez began painting landscapes in a realistic style from photographs.
Throughout his artistic explorations, he continued to add abstractions to his paintings, combining a balance of natural landscapes, precise geometric elements, and monochromatic colors.
Today, Lopez resides in Northern Arizona, working in his studio/home where he paints and publishes his artwork. Lopez’s work is featured throughout the United States in both private and corporate collections as well as solo exhibitions and art festivals thoughout Arizona.
Bernie Lopez is proudly represented by Arts Prescott Gallery in Prescott, AZ. and the Jerome Artist Gallery in the historic town of Jerome, AZ.
