Ed Sandoval

Pulsating with vibrant color and emotion, Ed Sandoval’s paintings celebrate the beauty of his beloved Northern New Mexico. “I seem to find divine inspiration in creating the old life of New Mexico,” states Sandoval. “The expression of my work follows the road of rhythmical expressionism, with a bold and energetic style. I am not concerned with painting realism. What is important to me is mood, movement, and memories in all my paintings.” Born in Nambe, and raised in various rural communities of the region, Sandoval draws upon the scenes of his youth — scenes that are steeped fondly in his memory and heart: blue and golden skies expressed with exuberant brushstrokes hover above adobe homes with smoking chimneys and old growth trees, while an elderly figure seen from behind, walks with his cane down a time-worn dirt road. This is a road of remembrance and commemoration, a road that Sandoval invites us to join him on.
