A self-taught artist based in Texas whose work explores the tension between time, mortality, and beauty. His paintings are a personal escape from an ever-changing digital world, grounding him in quiet, hand-made discipline. Blending the dramatic sensibility of pre-industrial painters with the clarity of mid-century graphic design, Torres builds patterns and layers that reveal relationships between order and chance, the instinct to control and the inevitability of change. The eye is never led to an endpoint: each work invites discovery, awareness, and a reminder not to let time pass unnoticed. His paintings are not passive objects, but invitations that encourage us to feel, to notice, and to act while we still can.
