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.
