The Art of F. Pavon

A Journey Through Abstract Expressionism

F. Pavon’s paintings are a testament to the raw, unfiltered essence of abstract expressionism. Drawing inspiration from the pioneers of the 1940s and '50s, Pavon channels the spiritual luminosity of Mark Rothko’s color fields and the dynamic energy of Jackson Pollock’s gestural splatters. His work is a contemporary homage to these legends, yet distinctly his own.

The Creative Process

Pavon’s approach to painting is one of pure improvisation. He begins each piece without a preconceived plan, allowing his instincts to guide the process. This method results in works that are both spontaneous and deeply personal. He primarily uses acrylics and enamels, and is intimately involved in every aspect of his creations, from manufacturing the frames to preparing the boards.

The Emotional Palette

Pavon’s use of vivid, earthy colors and bold brushstrokes creates compositions that exude a sense of unrestrained freedom. His paintings are a reflection of his inner emotions and energy, capturing the viewer’s attention with their dynamic movement and vibrant hues.

About F. Pavon

Born and raised in Spain, F. Pavon continues to reside there with his wife and two children. When he is not painting, he works as an administrator and designer in his own architectural firm. This dual career allows him to blend his artistic sensibilities with practical design, enriching both his art and his professional work.
