In the Wilderness 3 (2017)Mixed-media painting
by Nestor Toro

Introducing "In The Wilderness (Childhood Dreams)," an original abstract painting by artist Nestor Toro, measuring a captivating 48 x 36 inches. This enchanting work showcases Toro’s mastery of abstract expressionism, drawing inspiration from the whimsical energy of Joan Mitchell and the vibrant color play of Wassily Kandinsky. Painted with a large palette knife and finished with a glossy sheen, this piece captures the magic of childhood dreams in a wild landscape, making it an irresistible addition for collectors seeking art that evokes nostalgia and wonder.

The painting bursts with a palette that transports viewers to a dreamlike wilderness, filled with the uninhibited imagination of childhood. Lush greens and yellows dominate the canvas, swirling together like an overgrown forest or meadow, their vibrancy amplified by the large palette knife’s bold, textured strokes. These earthy hues are interwoven with deep blues and purples, which flow through the composition like a twilight sky or a hidden stream, adding a sense of mystery and depth. Fiery reds and oranges streak across the surface like bursts of wildflowers or the glow of a setting sun, infusing the piece with warmth and energy, while hints of white and pink add a soft, dreamy quality, enhancing the painting’s nostalgic charm.

The glossy finish amplifies the artwork’s luminous quality, making the colors shimmer with a radiant, almost magical intensity that feels alive with the spirit of childhood. Toro’s use of a large palette knife creates a richly textured surface, with each stroke capturing the spontaneity and freedom of youthful dreams. "In The Wilderness (Childhood Dreams)" is a visual journey, blending color and form in a way that feels both wild and tender.
