Since moving to Melbourne in 1982, Chilean born artist, Esteban Simich

held many successful exhibitions with prominent galleries, including

Tolarno, Pinacotheca, Latrobe University and Realities. In the mid nineties,

he returned to Chile for several years where he developed a totally new style

of painting.

These include black paintings on black canvas

(pure black – not pigmented with other colours) using exceptionally fine

brushwork which allows the illustrations to be seen under most lights and

from any position. These skilfully painted illustrations actually do give an

impression of colour.

The works on paper, which have an uncanny resemblance to black and

white photographs, are oil paintings (as are the surreal figurative works.)
