Oscar Montoya

Born in Medellin, Colombia, Oscar Montoya studied classical painting at the Institute of Fine Arts of Medellin with the Maestro Gabriel Restrepo and apprenticed with the Maestro Horacio Sanchez at his atelier. Celebrating the timeless allure of classical oil paint, he embraces this traditional medium as an integral part of his artistic process, enabling him to add depth and emotion to his creations. Evoking a sense of nostalgia, he captivates viewers, inviting them to journey into the realm of art and imagination.

Montoya has participated in several exhibitions of his work in Colombia at Gallery Atifaz de Medellín, Comfama de Envigado, and House of the Culture of El Retiro. After moving to the US in 1999, he has been influenced by a variety of artists including Abdon Romero and Cesar Santos at their respective ateliers in Miami, FL; Lee Bianco at the Coral Springs Museum of Art; and Vadin Zanginian at his atelier in Los Angeles, CA. Montoya recently participated in a group exhibition in Miami at the Hispanic Cultural Center and continues to take classes and excel in the realm of the Old Masters.
