The elegant “Flaxen Silhouette” by Edward Aparicio embraces subtle Asian influences in its plant silhouettes, warm bubbles of sunlight and rich, glowing colors. From Peru, Aparicio was strongly influenced by his late grandfather, a respected Peruvian artist, to begin drawing at age 6. Aparicio has degrees in advertising, graphic design, computer graphics and fine arts, and has exhibited his artwork at galleries throughout his adopted Florida.
