Arturo Mallmann on Arturo Mallmann

I will apologize (but only a little bit) for posting another video of Arturo Mallmann. But having Arturo sit down and talk about his work is fascinating and a must-see for both collectors and artists alike.

For the years we have represented Arturo's work, very little has needed to be said. His work always speaks strongly to each individual viewer. And for the many, many people who own one of Arturo's paintings and live with it in their home, they are able to enjoy this conversation every day. I know I do with ours.

Arturo is an artist's artist. He prefers to speak through his visual creations rather than his words. He is more comfortable painting than he is at talking. But, after many years, he now speaks; and we get an introspective glimpse of what drives him to create the beautiful and meaningful paintings he does.

In this video, we learn more about Arturo's background – how he has gone from hitchhiking from Buenos Aires to Alaska and back, to being a house painter in LA, to becoming an internationally acclaimed (yet extremely humble) artist.

When studying art history throughout college, I had a mental image of what the life of an artist would be like. Arturo is that perfect image.
