Applying rough brush strokes of contrasting colors, discarding depth or perspective, Juan Carlos Breceda creates simple forms filled with energy.  Women and animals are the central theme in his work.  A woman is repeated.  Her enormous eyes, steady gaz and harsh features, do not diminish her softness or sensuality.  His animals? The rooster, the bird, and the elephant convey simplicity in a real and sometimes magical world.
Most of Breceda’s artwork is COBRA-style, mixed-media on paper. His works share an intensity in the color schemes, a thrust in the brush work, an energy bordering on fierceness and sternness
Breceda is a painter who looks at the sun through a rainbow where his use of color is boundless.

When we evaluate the paintings, one by one, or in a group, we descover a true idiosyncrasy and a unique, very personal character. This painter detests complexity and that is what defines his work, from the composition to the thematic content: the circumstances of  the characters, both animal and human, the women and their surroundings, their figures...
