BRECEDA Juan Carlos

Born in Mexico in 1956, graduated from the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado in La Esmeralda / Mexico in 1984 and became a professional painter.

His works share an intensity in the color schemes, a thrust in the brush work, an energy bordering on fierceness and sternness applying strokes of contrasting colors, discarding depth or perspective, Breceda creates simple forms filled with energy. Women and animals are the central theme in his work. A woman is repeated. Her enormous eyes, steady gaze and harsh features, do not diminish her softness or sensuality. His animals… the rooster, the bird, and the cat convey simplicity in a real and sometimes magical world.

Juan Carlos exhibits regularly in prestigious galleries in Mexico, Canada and in the USA.

Juan Carlos has been the recipient of many national prizes, including the 1997 National Contest of Drawing and Painting at the National Auditorium Gallery, Mexico City, Mexico.
