Spending his childhood playing on the banks of the Amburayan and Chico Rivers, his works magnify the already majestic views of the rivers. His landscapes are a work of beauty honed by nature and precision, the colors vivid and otherworldly – the sky is yellow, the leaves blue, and the rocks the shades of the rainbow. “If there is an absolute originality in Lamarroza, it lies in his gift of pure color, for which no amount of reproduction prepares you,” Manuel D. Duldunao writes in his monograph Prudencio Lamarroza: His Life and Art. A master manipulator of composition, Lamarroza’s overflowing canvas is precise in its element, a work that is covered to the brim but never crowded, in proof of the artist’s immense talent.
