Bernie Lopez was born in Escondido, Ca. Lopez displayed an interest in the natural world around him as he was growing up. At an early age, he started sketching his observations and discovered his passion to create art.
In his 20’s, Lopez traveled around the Western United States, absorbing the beauty that it offered. Inspired by his journey, he became interested in landscape and abstract painting.
Working with acrylics, Lopez began painting landscapes in a realistic style from photographs.
Throughout his artistic explorations, he continued to add abstractions to his paintings, combining a balance of natural landscapes, precise geometric elements, and monochromatic colors.
Today, Lopez resides in Northern Arizona, working from his studio/home where he paints and publishes his artwork.
