What is your name: Andres Hurtado
Do you have a formal art education or are you a self taught artist: I started painting and drawing very young, I think 4 or 5 and never stoped. I went to art school and got my degree in Industrial Design, wich made a big impact on my style.
What is the style of your pieces: I think my style is a combination of surrealism with bio-organic-mechanical love painting landscapes, what I paint is a reflection of what i see inside myself, sometimes is dark sometimes is light, I get my inspiration from feelings and sensations.
What is the medium in which you work: Mostly I use acrylics and oil on canvas or canvas boards, and skin!!!
What started you on your path as an artist: I think that I found it easy to show feelings or thoughts drawing on a piece of paper or canvas.

Do you have a certain set of clothes you make art in: Just my camouflage pants!!
What has been the most frustrating part of being an artist: Just people not taking what I do seriously or not respecting my lifestyle, as simple as that, some people think that art is a hobby and they treat artist and art like that. Shame on them. But other than that life is beautiful.
What is your favorite sandwich of all time: "Choripan", it's an Argentinian sausage on french bread!!
