ENZO (MIGUEL ANGEL DUARTE)
Enzo, is a Venezuelan painter born in 1963, his great promoter of art was his mother,
a nurse at a hospital north of Caracas; His passion for art was so great that
when his sons were born, he named them: Michelangelo and Leonardo; Like the great teachers
when they were of school age it was customary for their mother to buy: art magazines,
turpentine, tubes of oil and canvases stamped with figures for painting; very soon it's home I know
turned into an entire art gallery with a variety of styles: still lifes, landscapes and figures
human; his first paintings were more figurative, with subdued colors, little brightness and lacked
of all techniques.
In them, you could see elegant men and women in bars sharing the hour of
tea; restaurants, awnings and hats adorned the environment of his paintings with a very
Parisian influenced by the art magazines his mother had bought him as a child.
In the summer of 1996 he was invited to participate in an art exhibition to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of a public institution, with the exception of inviting another painter to complete the
exhibition with three paintings next to it; Since I didn't know any other artists to invite, I chose to paint
three abstract paintings which I sign as Enzo.
On the day of the event, he organized the entire exhibition in the room, which was a surprise, since the
Michelangelo's paintings went unnoticed, while those signed as Enzo called
the attention of the visitors achieving the sale of two exhibited pieces.
Since then he has dedicated himself to abstract art through self-learning, now his work has
texture, elegance and contrasts, while incorporating recycled materials and bright colors
that speak for themselves, trapping the viewer in art exhibitions; City of Panama,
Madrid, Barcelona, ??Caracas, Bogotá, Miami and New York
