Here’s a Q & A with Gonzalo Cid

為什麼要創作藝術? 
I paint because of me and to me. I paint because I need it. Art is the food of my soul

你畫畫多久了? 
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.

你受過正規的藝術訓練嗎? 
No, I have not.

您是一位職業藝術家還是業餘愛好者? 
I live from my artist work, teaching and selling my artworks.

您從誰和/或什麼事物中尋求靈感?
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.

您繪畫時會聽什麼類型的音樂?
It depends of my mood, I´m going from Classical music to Limp Bizkit.

您有導師嗎? 
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.

你每天都畫畫嗎? 
Yes (but we know that is not true LOL)

您每次只畫一幅畫還是同時畫幾幅? 
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.

您是否先創作了一個概念作品? 
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

您喜歡在工作室裡畫畫還是在戶外畫畫?
In Studio paintings we have more controlled environment so it is easier to paint
But I like Both.

您使用多少核心色? 
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、鍋子、還是棍子? 
Tubes and Sticks

你使用遮蔽液嗎? 
No, I like the adrenaline of leave white spaces just with brushes.

什麼時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.
