About Yoyita

Yoyita is a figurative artist from Nicaragua, trained as a physician, who fell in love with art visiting European museums. Later in life she dedicated to painting and sculpture. In painting, she was influenced by Renaissance artists and Greek Hellenistic in her figurative sculptures ie. Contrapposto.

Part of Yoyita's work are religious images, some with a Byzantine art influence and renaissance flavor, for these works she uses egg tempera techniques, mixing her own paints with pigments and egg for egg tempera and oils for oil paints.

The portrait has always been a big attraction for Yoyita in her quest to capture the personality of the subject and perhaps his soul. Being these portraits in oils, pastel, watercolors, miniature or bust sculpture.

Yoyita finds the human form graceful and inspiring, figurative art has always been a challenge in painting and sculpture she is a great admirer of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Diego Velázquez, Zurbarán.

On the light side, Yoyita likes to paint pets with whimsical attitudes.

Nudes in Art In the art world, a nude is called Academic Art. It is a challenge and, like portraiture, is one of the most difficult types of painting to accomplish. This is due to the necessity of anatomy knowledge, skin tones, composition, etc. Portraits and Nudes are still used to test the ability of an artist. We have wonderful examples from the Old Masters, and some important religious paintings have nudes displayed. We can find some examples in Wikipedia: [1]Venus [2] Botticelli [3] Velazquez [4] Rubens [5] Bronzino Nude with jars This Composition has an "L" format, cut by the curve of the curtain Medium: Oil on canvas Academic Art, Classical Realism Seated Female This Composition has an "X" format.
