Armando Pedroso

"Art is a spiritual journey where the only thing you listen to is the voice within."

There is a freedom to listening to the voice within. The voice that quietly whispers directions as it guides and teaches the artist. The voice that comforts, helps, and protects the fragile artist ego. The voice that supports and encourages the artist to take risks without fear or judgement.

Pedroso is best alone when he paints. In the silence, there is nothing to distract; there is only the canvas, the stillness, the artist listening. In addition to paint, Pedroso uses roofing tar, plaster, and chalk dust to create his work. He is most comfortable working on multiple paintings and styles in the same day.

A self-taught artist, Pedroso starting painting at the age of 42, right after the 9/11/2001 attacks. Since then, he has spent thousands of hours experimenting on canvas, participated in many art exhibitions, shown in many galleries, and had work featured in various media.
