Here’s a Q & A with Gonzalo Cid

你为什么要做艺术? 
I paint because of me and to me. I paint because I need it. Art is the food of my soul

你画了多久了? 
I start drawing and painting when I was so young, but I leaved the painting in the High School and start again almost 20 years ago.

你接受过正规的艺术培训吗? 
No, I have not.

您是工作艺术家还是业余爱好者? 
I live from my artist work, teaching and selling my artworks.

你从谁和/或什么地方寻找灵感?
Everything that around me can be a source of inspiration, streets, nature, fields, plants, houses, people, a book, a tv show, a magazine, music are also a strong source of inspiration.

画画的时候听什么音乐?
It depends of my mood, I´m going from Classical music to Limp Bizkit.

你有导师吗? 
Yes, there was a person that introduces me to the watercolor world. Jorge Royan was and Architect, photographer and Urban Sketcher from Buenos Aires. Several years ago he told me: “Once you try the watercolor, you´ll never let it go” and here I am.

你每天画画吗? 
Yes (but we know that is not true LOL)

你是一次画一幅还是一次画几幅? 
It depends, sometimes I work with 2 or 3 pieces at the same time, but I usually paint one and then start with another one.

你会先创作一个概念作品吗? 
For some works yes, I do several small works for composition arrangements and tonal values, look for references in my pictures, do some small approaches and finally do the painting

您喜欢在工作室里画画还是在户外画画?
In Studio paintings we have more controlled environment so it is easier to paint
But I like Both.

你用了多少种核心颜色? 
Few years ago I had e very limited palette, since that I´m expanding the amount of colors, but usually I work with no more than 5 tones in a same painting

管子、平底锅还是棒子? 
Tubes and Sticks

你用掩蔽液吗? 
No, I like the adrenaline of leave white spaces just with brushes.

你什么时候知道一件作品完成了?
I do the same question to me every single day. I do another question to answer it: “Is this, that I´m going to put in the paper, helps to do my artwork better?” if yes, go ahead, if not the work is finished.
