Quotes
"Thanks to this conviction in the validity painting that in the artwork of Douglas Mendoza the pigments are not looking for fancy features, but accomplishing its purpose of providing the color. It is also for this conviction that the colors absorb waves of light that the artist considers necessary, so that the eye and the brain of the observer could identify them tonally, and can be pleased in their combinations, overlays, glazes and reflections"
Eduardo Serrano
"There is nothing premeditated on my painting. Color has always led me. I find the topic of my paintings while I am painting. In the end, a memory, a stroke, a word finish off defining an idea"
