Linking his thematic inspiration (the strange, the bizarre,
the odd, the weird and the unusual) to his artistic
reflection, Lopez conceives of his work as based on his
fascination with human facial expressions. "It is there
where it is born", he says. Like Leonardo, he believes that
the eye is the superior organ. Lopez's use of form and color
represents his main objective: to show emotion, humanity and
elegance. For that, it is necessary for him to reveal
character as well as beauty. It is again, the approach used
by the great masters such as Leonardo, Velazquez, Gericault
and Goya in representing the beauty inside the strange, the
bizarre, the odd, the weird and the unusual. Lopez's art
invites the viewer to stare at it, to establish a cordial
exchange and to venture into the fascinating world of the
sideshow.
