About Mr. Maldonado's artistic background
Mr. Maldonado, an American, Colombian, Peruvian and Venezuelan: He was born in Venezuela but he carries all these nationalities and cultures.
Throughout his career, Mr. Maldonado has experimented different art techniques. His past years have been devoted to the oil painting as his favorite. He started with small formats, and later he found that he enjoys big formats better, finding himself presenting his “Nature style”, as he defines it, most often represented through flowers and animal patterns. Besides oil painting, he loves working with wood and crafts, such as lazy Susans, placemats, wine bottle supports, trays, coasters, etc. applying the colorful acrylics with noticeable designs.
He had been attracted to drawing and painting since very early in his childhood, although didn’t dedicate to art as he would have liked but, as he says, “It is never late to begin doing what you love”. He started in art after first completing his careers in Systems Engineering and a Master in Business Administration. He also loves teaching Mathematics and Management courses in several universities and high schools and has participated in mainly many local art exhibitions in the South Florida area. He has also been the recipient of several awards from the Doral Academy of Arts, among others.
