Tranquility emanates from the quiet grace of plants silhouetted against a haze of dappled sunlight in Edward Aparicio’s “Autumnal Equinox.” Softly diffused shades of taupe, gold and bronze deepen the work’s sense of serenity. Aparicio was born in Peru and immigrated to Miami when he was 12. Strongly influenced by his late grandfather, renowned Peruvian artist Manuel Martinez de Aparicio, he began drawing and sketching at age 6. Aparicio received degrees in advertising and graphic design, as well as computer graphics and fine art. His work has been exhibited at numerous galleries throughout Florida, including several in Miami, Coral Gables and Fort Lauderdale.
