I paint from sketches made directly from life, building each work through observation, movement, and lived experience. The monochrome both flattens and intensifies the image, creating an atmospheric field in which the subject flickers between presence and disappearance. I am drawn to the moment when the figure dissolves and reassembles—what de Kooning called “the figure caught in the act of becoming.”
I have painted for as long as I can remember, guided by my father, the painter Horacio Torres, and my uncle Augusto Torres, both trained by their father, the modern master Joaquín Torres-García.
I grew up in New York City, attended NYU, and sketched at the Art Students League. In the past, my focus has been on preserving and organizing my family’s artistic legacy. I have worked consistently in the studio and placed works privately, though I have exhibited only sparingly. I am now eager to present this work in a more public setting. Welcome to my space—take your time and explore.
