Architectural Caricatures Series

Updated: Jun 13, 2021

Architectural Caricatures in Watercolor on Board or Paper


These colorful images are inspired by the places that have impacted my artwork the most.


The Spanish images are inspired by my trips through Alicante, Cuenca, Valencia, and Lisboa in particular, although there are influences from all over the peninsula. There are magical moments at sunrise and sunset where the brightly colored architecture is highlighted by a setting sun or low fill moon, and this is what inspires the colors in these paintings.


The Great American Desert images are inspired by a land that has hidden adobe and old wood treasures sprinkled throughout a vast, open space, tucked into sandy valleys and canyons. This land is alive with the art and culture of the Indigenous Americans, English and Spanish mixed together. There is something truly magical and supernatural about this dusty land, where sunset seems to take its sweet time highlighting the desert fauna and hills.


I also have an Up North series, with architectural caricatures of scenes you might find in cooler places, such as Northern Europe or Canada.


Sometimes there is an original available already, in a specific size that will be listed.

Generally, I will create an original art commission inspired by the image you see. The size I tend to work with is approximately 30x40cm or 12x16in, but feel free to contact me for other sizes. Shipping prices are world-wide, but I offer a discount for local pickup in Metro Valencia, Spain. If you live in the Orlando or Denver area of the USA, contact me about possible discounts as well.


I have a few Giclées in this series. A Giclées is a high quality Fine Art Print on archival paper. The colors are intense and permanent, in some cases they will last longer than originals. I create these on demand and they ship from multiple parts of the world.


Turn around time is usually 1-3 weeks plus shipping time. Let me know if there is a rush for a special event and I will discuss further options with you. Also, use discount code 30 for a 30% discount at checkout if you will be picking up the work locally.


Please read each product description carefully and contact me with any questions!
