Oskar Larrañaga

History

My friendship with the architect, teacher, painter and businessman Oskar Larrañaga dates back to 2014. We were introduced to the also teacher and painter Pío Uribe Palacio with whom Oskar Larrañaga, apart from his friendship, has held exhibitions and live speed painting shows in the cities of Dan Caster France and the museum such, among other spaces and multiple occasions in Colombia and
other countries.

I deeply admire the intention of his work that reflects the transparency of his thoughts and transmits that desire to take care of the environment, since he was impacted by the phenomenon of global warming, he began to reflect in his work what would be flooded cities.

The color, the line and the message that his work reflects, has made important environmentalists worldwide appreciate and treasure his work, giving it a special space in their lives.

Everyone have the opportunity to enjoy these beautiful paintings, which for our Blanco Toro Gallery collection, have real icons of world-renowned cities, I hope you enjoy this exhibition and I congratulate all the purchasers of these works.
