Subtle Asian influences permeate the elegant symmetry of plant silhouettes, bubbles of sunlight, and warm columns of gold and scarlet in “Flaxen Silhouette” by Edward Aparicio. Born in Peru, Aparicio began drawing at age 6, greatly influenced by his late grandfather, Manuel Martinez de Aparicio, a popular Peruvian artist. Immigrating to Miami at age 12, the younger Aparicio later studied advertising, graphic design, computer graphics and fine arts. He has exhibited his artwork at galleries throughout Florida, including several in Miami, Coral Gables and Fort Lauderdale.
