The City of Encinitas will present work by artist Juan Flores. This is Mr. Flores’ first post-pandemic exhibition. Mr. Flores’ works show an optimistic conceptual approaches that, at times, reflect a seascape, a feeling, a memory, or a dream. Many of his paintings depict Encinitas and North San Diego beaches images. The artist uses intense colors to make vanishing memories vivid images and recapture a fading dream or a distant event. This imagery recreates the past in a light somewhere between the real and the surreal. At other times the artist paints the ocean as seen by the surfer floating on the water, waiting for the next wave. The image recreates the feeling of distance from the shore and the dance between sky and sea. Other times the sea is shown in a moody light during the early morning or in the twilight before complete nightfall. Many of his paintings include his dog Louie….find Louie!
