Dairo vargas
Colombian artist Dairo Vargas specialises in painting landscapes and portraits in a vivid and energetic Abstract Expressionist style. With a passion for the natural world and the vulnerability of the human condition, Dairo uses his art to create a spiritual journey for both himself and the viewer. Themes of love, life and death fill his canvases and probe at a deeper interpretation of his paintings. By abstracting the real and distorting the expected, Dairo’s gestural mark-making forms powerful pieces of art, bursting with emotion.

Dairo Vargas’ Education and Career

Born in 1978 in Colombia, Dairo had his first painting commission at the age of 16, giving him the confidence to pursue an artistic career. Training in Graphic Design, Dairo worked in the advertising industry for many years before chasing his dreams of becoming an artist. Dairo is now based in London, and since graduating from Chelsea College of Art in 2008, he has shown his art in New York, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Dubai and Hong Kong.

Inspiration

Dairo draws influence from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, and combines the characteristics of traditional painting with a modern, expressive approach. Some of his works directly reference the old masters, either through his choice of colour, subject or composition. Much of Dairo’s inspiration comes from memories of going to church as a child, with the art of stained glass windows, paintings of saints and religious sculptures immersing him and still informing his art to this day.
Our insider says:

Dairo Vargas' abstract paintings are all-engulfing and incredibly expressive. By distorting reality and upending the expected, his gestural marks seem to rive and dance across the canvas. With Dairo taking inspiration from saintly sculptures, religious interactions and Renaissance masters, to observe his work is to undertake a spiritual awakening.

Really impressed by the service, regular communications and quality of the artwork received. The website was easy to view and shop from with lots of relevant information to help with artwork selection. I received regular email updates which was really useful as it kept me in the know at all times. I could anticipate the tax payment and delivery. Thank you so much.

Buying my first piece of art online felt like a big deal, and Rise Art made it an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their collection is massive—every style, every format, something for literally every kind of space and vibe. Meredith from the Rise Art team was in touch the whole way through, from when I hit “purchase” to when the piece landed on my doorstep. It felt thoughtful and personal, which isn’t what you expect with online shopping. Safe to say this won’t be my last piece from them.
