A Glance at Chanlatte´s Work

Memories and dreams of the sea, sun and sunflowers, tropical forest and brilliant blue skies are the inspiration for Marino Chanlatte. His paintings depict remembrances of his childhood and landscapes from his walks throughout the Caribbean and Central America. He pints with a palette of pure colors: indigo, blue, red, orange, yellow, green, and purple, representing water, sky, sun, fire, sunsets, flowers and trees, all elements of nature mixed by the artist´s brush. In the midst of this feast of colors, forms, texture and matter, interpreted in a personal way influenced by his own experience and feelings, Chanlatte follows no rules, but keeps the harmony, balance and beauty of nature. Sometimes he uses thin impastos, other times he scrapes the paint in the canvas discovering new textures, but always searching new ways of expression. His abstract works show a strength and spontaneous combination of form and colors that define and identify his creativity. Marino has identity, training, education and vocation. If only the sun would be always on his canvases! His work has been shown in Europe, North and South America.
