Born in El Salvador in 1952, Pablo Calderon came to San Francisco in his late thirties with most of his family and started creating art in our studio in 2002.
In contrast to his small stature, Calderon enjoys painting on a very large scale. Using saturated hues and broad strokes, Calderon usually depicts single or repeating faces, or animals. He refers to the faces as muñecas, Spanish for dolls. Calderon alters the colors he uses, and the surfaces he paints on, canvas, wood, paper, even glass, but the wide eyed, curly-haired subjects are always much alike. Recently he has expanded his subject matter to include different forms of transportation. Elegant, colorful depictions of bicycles and large, bird’s-eye views of trucks flattened out into map-like abstractions dominant this current interest in vehicles. His artwork is well collected and though Calderon speaks only limited Spanish, he delights in showing and explaining his work to potential patrons.
