Drake Hotel Artist Interview

Union Station#9 ,11" x 14" oil on wood. A 2019 oil painting of Union Station, one of the main stations in Ontario Canada during its never ending construction cyles lol. Interestingly since painting this piece they’ve added a new skyscraper in the background and a part of the station in the painting has been demolished and reconstructed.

I can probably repaint this exact composition and have it look like different painting which is one of the things I like about the subject I work with, it changes quite a bit over time.

First paint through of this piece. It's another Wilson station painting and it's only a coincidence that two pieces are the same station lol. (Subway station in Toronto Canada) This first stage is generally to get base colours down and get a general light direction. Drawing errors get fixed in this stage.

Hey everyone! If you're wondering who that is well that's me, the quiet guy behind the art work on this account. Thought I would take this opportunity to tell you a little about myself, I'm sure everyone is very excited 😏. Born in Portugal Lisbon and immigrated to Canada back in the 90s . . . Actually on second thought instead of reading 30+ years Bio it might just be easier to check out the interview by @thedrake that I did after my artist in residence with them😉.

This is last piece piece I did for my Artist in Residence at @thedrakehotel . This piece is of Rosedale station, a subway station in Toronto Canada. 5 feet x 3.5ish feet chalk on chalkboard. The two pieces will be put up in the hotel.☺️🎉 Special thanks to Ashley Mulvihill the curator and @thedrakehotel for providing me this wonderful experience and hope to work together again.☺️🙏

Union Station #8 2018. Oil on Wood 10" x 8" an earlier piece from 2018, generally I use the smaller pieces to test things out and with this one I wanted to see how texture changed the overall painting. I like the texture in the cool sky but I think it was a little too strong in comparison to the rest of the painting.

I think overall I think the painting was succesful and a great learning experience.

Brampton Go Station #2 2018 The main station in Brampton, a city in Ontario Canada that's slowly growing.One of the things that caught my eye was the original building of the station is still up after 100+ years with the new additions on the right side.

I remember that one of the reason the collector bought this piece was because it felt dream like, especially without the fence on the right side. The station is on a slight hill which almost looks like its floating when you remove the city buildings on the right.

Union Station #12 2019, Oil on Wood 14" x 11" Past painting of Union Station in Toronto Canada. One of my favorite buildings to paint and over the years of painting it has changed quite a bit. Several of the spots in the station that I've painted no longer exist so the paintings act as a document of history.
