Beyond the Medium with Juan Carlos Navarro

Eclectic Gallery takes immense pride in representing the talented artist Juan Carlos Navarro. Navarro's artistic journey is marked by a deep connection to his earliest memories of creating art and a commitment to constantly evolve his techniques and styles.

 

Juan Carlos Navarro's artistic roots trace back to his early childhood. At just 4 or 5 years old, he found himself immersed in the world of art. Drawing became a passion, a way to enter a peaceful and quiet realm—an experience that would shape his artistic journey. Even today, Navarro recognizes the importance of revisiting those early creative moments when he needs to reconnect with his inner artistic self.

 

 

For artists, the fusion of techniques can be a revelation. Navarro vividly recalls such a moment when he combined charcoal and paint in his work. This fusion of drawing and painting allowed him to break free from artistic constraints, offering a new sense of creative freedom. It was like exploring uncharted territory, where he could incorporate both detailed drawing and expressive painting into his finished artworks.

 

Navarro's use of color is a defining element of his work. He doesn't follow a rigid formula; instead, his approach varies from one piece to another. Sometimes, it's about intuition—letting the artwork guide the color choices. Other times, he visualizes the colors in his mind or sketches them to see how they interact. Whether it's peaceful greens and blues or vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds, Navarro's palette is a reflection of the emotions and themes he aims to convey.

 

When starting a new artwork or series, Navarro sometimes sets specific goals or intentions, bringing his ideas to life through his craft. At other times, he lets his creativity flow freely, drawing and sketching until a unique concept emerges. He values the interplay between structured intent and spontaneous intuition in his artistic process.

 

One of the greatest challenges artists face is knowing when a piece is complete. Navarro is no exception. Sometimes, he feels that a piece is getting too heavy, and it needs space to breathe. In those moments, he starts removing elements from the painting. Other times, he senses that the work needs further refinement, and he continues to develop it. Navarro's decision-making process is guided by his instinct, and he ensures that each piece is finished only when it feels right. After completion, he spends time with the artwork, observing it until he's certain it's done.

 

 

Navarro's art aims to evoke emotions in viewers and collectors. He finds immense satisfaction in knowing that his paintings can stir something deep within those who view them. His hope is that his art will create a profound emotional connection and leave a lasting impact on those who experience it.

 

 

Throughout his artistic journey, Navarro has faced numerous challenges, including the pressure of preparing for exhibitions while maintaining focus and calm. His advice to emerging artists is to cherish every moment, work tirelessly, and never give up. Drawing, experimentation, and hard work are the keys to establishing oneself in the art world.

 

Juan Carlos Navarro is excited about the upcoming Pop-Up exhibition at Eclectic Gallery starting on September 28th. The highlight will be the vernissage of the exhibition on October 19th, a night filled with artistic celebration and anticipation.

 

In conclusion, Navarro expresses his deep gratitude to everyone at Eclectic Gallery who has been a part of his artistic journey. His dedication to his craft, creative evolution, and emotional connection with his art make him a cherished artist represented by Eclectic Gallery.
