Asencio has emerged as one of the most intriguing artists on the world stage. Avant-garde
in execution, his first UK collection blends the classical ideals of figurative painting with
a unique, contemporar y style. Merging introspection and visual spectacle, his personal
investigations of femininity, spirituality and abstraction possess the power to capture and
explore our modern ideals of elegance and sensuality in his art.
“I want people to feel what I am doing -
not just see what I am painting.”

His open brushwork, sweeping colour, use of texture and precise drawing skills have resulted in a
body of work that has earned him many international accolades. He has been named as ‘Today’s
Top Artist’ by the USA association of Art Business News Major Shows for an astonishing four
years in a row from 2007 to 2010. His New York shows have sold out for the last eight years, and
his celebrity collectors include George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Glenn Close, Martin Scorsese and
Billy Cr ystal. A native Californian, Asencio lives and works in his studio near San Jose, north of his
birthplace of Los Angeles. His work is collected and exhibited to great acclaim all over the world.
Described by critics as “Abstract Expressionism” Asencio’s work cannot be pigeonholed by style
or semantics. From a close perspective his paintings appear abstract. He uses a range of unnatural,
almost strident colours, which under his magic touch seem to vibrate and dance off the canvas,
blending to create a naturalistic image with great aesthetic depth.

“Many of us seek harmony and peace, but
along the way we embattle the obstacles of
life. My earlier work did not acknowledge
this. My current work celebrates it.”

Passion accompanies and elegance becomes her. Matters of conflict are diminished and what
stands alone is her delicate strength, her thoughts, her identity.
Strong women have long been Asencio’s muse and the new edition titled “Eternal Beauty”
exemplifies this poignantly. With her silhouette masked against a lush crimson background,
she eloquently brushes her onyx hair in contemplation. Her beauty is in her movement and
repose. The attraction is undeniable yet the myster y intrigues and alludes to the timeless
notion of allurement. She embodies all that matters most- her grace and eternal beauty.
