Juan Zaragoza was born in  Pátzcuaro Michoacán, Mexico, in 1979, a graduate of the University of Guanajuato in 2002.

Juan chose to begin his career in the fine arts as a painter.

At first his work focused more on the abstract, playing with interesting combinations of colors and geometric shapes. Next, he entered a post-pictorial abstraction period, sometimes difficult for ordinary people to understand but always intense and sharp.

Having attended almost all of his exhibitions, we have noticed his rapid evolution from a little naïve to Modern. In his studio, we have witnessed his growing expertise with oils, watercolors, composition, sculptures and most recently

acrylics.

Currently, many of his expressive compositions are a unique form of mixed media, depicting everyday topics such a landscapes, flowers, and animals.

​

Continuing to express and communicate deeply and without losing the abstract, Juan has

expanded his work in the field of figurative art,

including his horses, his Madonna’s, and his still-life’s.

As we admire his artwork, we are reminded of something Terry Fenton once said:

“They don’t shout, but neither do they whisper; they don’t intrude …yet they transform their surroundings as only great art can.”

And, what Pablo Picasso said in a phrase that applies to our artist:

“Art cleans out the daily dust from our soul.”

We congratulate Juan Zaragoza, who through tremendous dedication, honed his natural talent and won himself a place of recognition among other young artists in Mexico.
