"In the canvas of life, a flat
landscape would be pretty boring. It is the valleys and
the mountains that help us to appreciate the flatlands. It
is the dark that makes us appreciate the light, and the
cold that makes us appreciate the warm.

Biography
Hugo Frones was born in Uruguay in 1950 and
immigrated to Canada in 1975. He is a self-taught artist living
in Toronto. His work has been shown in Canada and abroad, in
Spain, Uruguay, Argentina and San Francisco.
Hugo has been working from the late 80's to the present under
the influence of abstract expressionism, and despite a complex
of formal relationships in his work, the overall tone and scale
of his paintings is intuitive rather than cerebral and
organized. Hugo works with acrylic paint on canvas and is very
fond of warm colours, Mediterranean atmosphere, and spontaneous
and intuitive brushstrokes of bold paint that gives the work its
final touch.
