Erick Sánchez

The painter and photographer Erick Sánchez was born in May, 1973 in the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Beginning in 1996, Erick began to express his feelings through the medium of paint. Later, he began to develop his formation in the American Academy of the New York Art Students League and the San Juan Art Students League. At the same time, he continued traveling and taking additional courses in the United States to further enrich his work and broaden his experience. Since 2001 is the resident painter artist of Galería Sanchez in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. And today, after many long hours of hard work and dedication, success and recognition have been realized.

At this time in his life, Erick presents to us a series of paintings founded in the great puertorrican landscapes and seascapes. His work transports us to an ideal place that is full of peace and harmony. These new works are composites in forms intended to communicate to us something much deeper than originally believed. The painter Erick Sánchez allows us to travel to and connect us with his most recent work by exploring the limitless bounds of nature through his experimentation and expression.

The atmosphere found on the natural surroundings of the island of Puerto Rico on which he lives are most important to the artist, and have now become the basis for his new work. The various elements of the tropical environment, the innumerable tangible and intangible, as they are seen through the infinite variations in sunlight, are reflected in his latest works.The viewer is transported to the outside world of Puerto Rico to see what the artist sees, and experience the same sensations as the artist as he experiments and works in the countryside. His work is an expression of his innermost self...his feelings, the manner in which he thinks, his deep spirituality, and his love of God the Creator.

With his skills, Sánchez compels us to reflect what is truly natural and beautiful, by awakening in us what may have been forgotten or overlooked, or by instilling in us something new and surprising as we confront nature as seen by the artist.

Some of the recognition and awards the artist has received in the recent, among others are, 100 Contemporary International Artists from European Communities Artists Library, Group Show Winner of the Viridian Artists 16th National Juried Exhibition in New York City, Who is Who in Art, Encounters Juried Exhibition Honorable Mention in the Museum of the Americas, Miami, Florida, Artist of the Commemorative Painting of the Ponce Carnival, 2005, San Juan Man of Distinction for his dedication and work in the field of National Arts, Honorable Mention in the Photography Biennial Show of the ICP and third place in the UNESCO 2005 Photography Competition in Puerto Rico.
