Agamemnon Otero is a prolific painter working in Acrylic. "Although on first sight my work is very colour saturated and could be called interpretational, the images and tones I work with, all derive from natural phenomenon. Painting the physical world gives me inspiration. Capturing meditative moments or paradoxically explosive ones, I endeavour to create a welcoming space, an image that acknowledges beauty, as well as challenging that ideal. By 27 years old, I had stared death in the face by twice surviving cancer. This gave me a push and zeal to be fearless in my work. Even if that means to be romantic. I believe art can help to transform us into what we want to be." Agamemnon Otero was born in Uruguay and was raised in New York State, USA, his work is in numerous public and private collections all over the world.
