This concept is ever more prominent in Zayas\u2019 painting&nbsp;<em>Illuvia<\/em>. With dark tones and thick brushstrokes,&nbsp;<em>Illuvia&nbsp;<\/em>is a balance of observation and abstraction. Zayas paints the cityscape as it is, but also distorts the fixtures by changing the tone, color, and the overall mood of the painting.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_Frank_%28art_critic%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Frank<\/a>, editor of&nbsp;<em>Visions&nbsp;<\/em>and an art critic for&nbsp;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laweekly.com\/authors\/peter-frank-2126850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles Weekly<\/a><\/em>, remarks<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cZayas\u2019 canvases are distinctively modern in their cinematic bravado, but in their evocation of the old masters and their obvious indulgence in painterly physicality, they provide us a respite from the featureless anonymity of the computer screen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>lluvia&nbsp;<\/em>depicts an unidentifiable cityscape in bold colors, and you can really see that &#8220;painterly physicality&#8221; that Frank mentions. Though the stillness of the city is somewhat eerie, the fiery glow of orange hues provokes a sense of spontaneity \u2013 the ever glowing energy of a city, bustling about with busy streets. While looking at this work, one gets the feeling that things are happening at every moment. A beggar steps out of the shadows to ask for change, while a young man beats a plastic bucket drum. A businessman shuffles by them. He avoids eye contact and sidesteps a skateboarder. Taxi&#8217;s honk and swerve on the streets, each jostling for a better position as they carry their passengers off to their daily grind. One passenger tries to drown it all out as she plays her upcoming interview in her head over and over. All these moments make a city life, and I see them captured in Zayas&#8217; thick and busy brushstrokes. This is why I find the central theme of<br \/>\n<em>Illuvia&nbsp;<\/em>to be the passing of time; the black shadows indicate the humdrum of city life, while the orange flares hint at the exciting changes that can occur at any time. Completely in balance,&nbsp;<em>Illuvia&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>illustrates both the stagnancy and action that occurs in the moments of time that pass us by<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Born in Mazatlan, Mexico, Victor Hugo Zayas came to the United States in 1977 to study art at the United States International University. Later on, he studied at the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artcenter.edu\/accd\/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Art Center College of Design&nbsp;<\/a>in Pasadena, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
