With a background in professional tennis, San Diego-based artist Walter Redondo's fluid strokes on the court translate beautifully onto the canvas. Thickly applied paint in the vain of the midcentury colorists transforms the surface of the canvas into a sweeping fantasia of chroma and texture, all while retaining a remarkable compositional cohesion. Influenced by the late Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, Willem di Koonig and Cy Twombly, Walter works his paint with the intention of experiencing freedom from all negative control.
“As I begin a painting, lines, form, and color start to evolve and I find myself part of a complex dialogue. This is a fascinating place for me, an open door for me to walk through and become part of the exploration. The intuitive nature of the process, the risk-taking, break-throughs, and even the mistakes, serve to bring interest and new facets to the process.”

"My paintings are fueled by the expression of things that come to me through life’s unseen experiences. Every placement of color, or covering of another color, affects and shapes the painting. I love the process of squeezing paint from the tubes, mixing them together and watching the colors evolve and complement each other. The mixing of color while the oil is still wet on the canvas, the unfolding of the imagery, represents a singular journey for me. What is in the process, what has gone into the mixing, is the very essence of how life and choices create the person.”
