Gilbert Duran (San Antonio, Texas, b. 1936), monarch butterflies, watercolor on paper

sight: 18 x 14 in., frame: 27.5 x 23.5 in.

Gilbert Duran's highly detailed watercolors are instantly recognizable, and reminiscent of the works of Raul Gutierrez and Alberto Meza. His painting career spans over five decades in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Much of his art hangs in local restaurants and are often commissioned pieces. His artist statement reveals the influence of early Texas artists on his work: "I can paint in many different directions: abstract, modern art, wildlife, landscape ... and I sculpt, do mosaics - everything. I do read the biography of all the artists that I€â„¢m trying to interpret ... Botero, Picasso, Gauguin or Porfirio Salinas; the biography, and their techniques."
