Meet the Artist

Meet the Artist

Ed Valdizan is a Peruvian-American artist who uncovered his talent in his late 40’s. He has worked as a hotel manager for many years in countries like Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States. It was while living in Chicago that he took drawing and painting classes at the Triton Community College and discovered himself to be a very eclectic painter.

Ed paints purely by instinct. He is a very experimental visual artist who is at peace with creativity and for whom there is no formality when he enters into his "art zone" with his brushes and colors.

His artwork consists primarily of domestic scenes in ordinary life, but in vastly diverse worlds -- from an Amish man in a small Midwestern American community to an indigenous woman selling clay jars by the side of the road in a little Andean town in South America.

Ed also flirts with abstracts and semi abstract compositions, using the same materials with which he is most comfortable: acrylics and oil pastels on canvas.

His paintings show the duality of these worlds in which he has lived and where he has discovered his own way to communicate common life in vibrant and captivating colors. Ed Valdizan currently resides in South Florida, US.
