Hi there! My name is Francisco, PAKO and I am an artist born in Ecuador. My passion for art started at a young age, and I was fortunate to have an art teacher who encouraged and nurtured my talent. I spent many afternoons drawing from art books from Museums in Europe, which fueled my imagination and love for art.
After moving to California in 1969, I pursued my dream of working in animation, which led me to study Mechanical Engineering at Long Beach State University. However, my interest in technology, especially the introduction of the Apple computer, gave me a new tool to create art. I learned to code and began working in the Entertainment Industry, where I developed a specialized skill set in a fast-paced and creative environment.
Throughout my travels, I continued to create art using a computer, drawing 3D modeling, and animation. However, my passion for art truly became a way of healing after my wife passed away in 2008. It was then that I was encouraged by my new partner, Karen, to work with other artists, which led to a major shift in my style towards abstraction. Collaborating with talented painters like Quinton Bemiller has influenced and broadened my visual communication.
My art is influenced by many artists that I admire, including Pablo Picasso, Juan Uslé, Roberto Matta, Wilfredo Lam, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Gerhard Richter, and David Hockney. Combining my experiences, traditional paintings, and technology, I continue to create and show my work both in Los Angeles and on social media. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and my artistic journey.
