Robert Aragon learned to hold a pencil at age two and by five he had developed an exceptional pencil technique that soon flowed into painting by age seven. A self-taught artist, Aragon was born in 1968, a descendant of Ferdinand II of Aragon. He specializes in capturing the human experience on canvas. His passion for shadows and subtle shades of light and color emits a secret world inhabited by each of his subjects. Whether child or adult, Aragon is enraptured with the secretive innocence behind every person, often overlooked in this time of excessiveness. An avid world traveler, fluent in four languages, he has immersed himself in each culture he has come into contact with, learning from each a new method of capturing the human spirit. He has worked as a free-lance artist for the music and film industry for over a decade, creating works for such notables as Bette Davis, Sammy Davis Jr.. and Vincent Price. His work has been exhibited internationally and he was featured in Who’s Who in America as a young adult. A poet, philosopher and self-taught musician, he also enjoys surfing the breaks of San Diego.
