Susan Grossman
Hamilton Aguiar (1965) was born in Beld Horizonte, Brazil. In 1987 he
moved to the United States to pursue his passion of art. During his
many years of studying and working in art restoration, Aguiar began to
explore various painting techniques.
His current series of paintings reaches a new and unique level. Aguiar
applies silver leaf over the entire background of his linen canvases and
then creates washes and shadows with oil paint. The images radiate a
dramatic light due to the interaction between the richness of the oils
and the mercurial nature of the silver.
Already acquired by numerous private collectors and represented by
many prestigious galleries across the United States and Canada,
Hamilton Aguiar's art is quickly receiving well deserved national
recognition.
