A Studio Chat: Discovering Juan Rosillo

A few days ago, I had the pleasure of meeting with Juan Rosillo at his studio in the beautiful city of Los Angeles. It was a sunny day, perfect for delving into a conversation about his art and journey. As a News Correspondent for LA-Best Magazine, a premier portal for entertainment and fashion.

I had the opportunity to explore Juan’s creative world while enjoying a coffee together. Originally from Colombia, Juan’s journey as an immigrant has deeply influenced his art and perspective. He shared not just his story, but also his studio, his diverse works, and his captivating paintings. In a city vibrant with art, his passion truly stands out. 

The original interview is in Spanish, Juan Rosillo shares with us his early artistic development in a small but culturally rich Colombian town, emphasizing the self-taught nature of his beginnings and the power of personal conviction in pursuing art. 

Rosillo reflects on the absence of defined artistic styles in his early years and his later focus on drawing as the foundation of his work, particularly his frequent use of black and white. He also shares his experiences after moving to Los Angeles, highlighting the accessibility of resources like public libraries and art education, contrasting it with his earlier life. 

The conversation touches upon his transition to sculpture, the influence of artists like Miguel Ángel and Botero, his unique perspective on color, and the significance of art in providing different perspectives on reality. Rosillo concludes by mentioning his presence on Instagram as a platform to view his current work. https://www.instagram.com/rosilloart/
