(b. Panama, 1953)David Solis began his artistic studies in Panama. He traveled to France, where he remained for decades. Solis is an artist that fuses the European traditions and Latin American heritage. He trained and worked as an architect, at L'ecole National Des Beaux-Arts in Panama as well as at L'ecole d'Art et d'Architecture de Marseille-Luminy. In 1978, he obtained a diploma from Superieur d'Arts Plastiques. The artist sketches, engraves draws and paints, using traditional medium in personal ways. The canvases of his oil paintings contain multiple compositions, repainted, veiled, erased and repainted again over several years, in what he describes as an archaeological process. In Yellow Lagoon (1999) the horizon is like a coastline, the trees have space between them and are slightly abstracted and the central region is rather empty. It is a study of color, but it is emotional and dreamlike. David Solis's recent solo exhibitions include 1995 Peintures, Mus&eacut
