Influenced by surrealism, expressionism and landscapes, Oscar Torres creates worlds with in his paintings where emotions and fantasies overpower logic and rational thought. Mr. Torres taps into personal experience in an attempt to capture love and its emotional effects. The artist scrutinizes feelings and conveys them through the use of rich colors and gestural strokes creating paintings that are full of energy.

The use of loose brush strokes in an apparent battle with the canvas makes this piece a memorable image of autumn.
