Print Silk Screen - Serigraph
Wichie Torres, born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on 29 March 1952, is a Puerto Rican oil canvas painter. He is an exposer of the costumbrismo movement. His style shows depicts the acrylic and mixture technique above mastery. He uses vibrant colors and, with great intensity, applies them with rhythm and decisiveness to create a harmonic pattern throughout the scene. His main themes are people and daily life. He has many paintings inspired by Puerto Rican scenes such as the flamboyan tree, cock-fights, street-side merchants, and the piragüeros. He is best known as a folklore artist, with emphasis on the Afro-Caribbean roots of Puerto Rico. Torres’s works have been exhibited in many Puerto Rican towns, in North America, and in Europe.
Today, some of Torres' can be seen at the Museo de Arte de Ponce, Museum of Contemporary Art in San Juan, at the Museum of History, Anthropology and Art at the University of Puerto Rico's Río Piedras campus and at the Puerto Rico Museum of Art. Torres is also honored at Ponce's Park of the Illustrious Ponce Citizens.
