Hello everybody, my name is Pablo Ontaneda, I'm the proud father of two handsome boys and husband to a beautiful dancer. I Currently live in Guayaquil, Ecuador. However, I have lived in the United States (New Orleans and Miami), France, Italy and Russia. I love foreign languages and I speak Spanish (my native tongue), English, Italian, French and a little Russian. Living in different places and having multicultural experiences has given me a broader perspective of life and the world (at least that is what I think). Through these posts I will be sharing with this great Steemit community my experiences and my interests which I hope you will enjoy.
I am currently working in the financial sector; however my passion is art www.pabloontaneda.wixsite.com/artist . My source of inspiration is nature and I focus so that the finished work would inspire the spectator to interact with nature in a respectful way. When I don't paint about nature I concentrate on achiving a final results that transmits a sense of happiness and feeling good.
Since I was a child I loved to draw and paint. When I was 17 I went to school in Italy, that year in Italy gave me expusure to art, architecture and art history. It was a very enriching experience. Later on I went to college in the USA to study business, but I took every opportunity to take art lessons on the side and Italian literature (in Italian). While living in Europe I was exposed to several languages and my interest for foreign languages grew and I continued studying them "in situ" and while attending college. Whenever I could, I took painting lessons with established local artists.
I decided to paint on a regular basis after my father passed away. He was a succesful man with talent for painting and sculpture but it was something that he kept very private and would only share with the family. One day I found myself missing my dad and I thought that painting would be a way of honoring him. After then, ideas started to come and I would happily capture them on a blank surface.
I would say that I have my own painting style as I try to be as genuine as I possibly can, I try to express my ideas on my own way. The way I look at things. Every head is a world.
Of course I have other interests like traveling, lifestyle, fitness, and keeping healthy. I run three times a week, play golf sometimes and used to play tennis. I wish I could do everything, but it seems there is never enough time.
By the way, please don't forget to follow me. I'll follow you back.
