Description: Jose Tonito Art Jose Tonito uses inkjet paper and inks. Since these are the ingredients of a home printed photograph, I would like to clarify that Tonito's works are not photographs or any other kind of mechanical or digital printing. Untitled, 2010. This painting was part of the exhibition Altered States in Coconut Grove, Florida in 2010. Size: 44x57 inches.Framed.Pick up only. Tonito, who was born in Havana in 1961, moved to Hialeah with his family in 1978 and studied photography at Miami-Dade Community College. After graduating with a BFA from Florida International University, he went on to a long career as a fine-arts photographer who also shot works at local galleries and museums for many years.But about five years ago, Tonito stumbled upon a process that altered his art practice and got his creative juices bubbling again. "I use blank photographic paper and color inks that I apply with water in a process similar to watercolors," he observes. "The paper is waterproof and registers the movement of water faster than any other kind of paper."As Tonito moves his fingers dexterously over the paper's surface, strange creatures seem to burst from beneath the shadows of his hands. Some of the patterns give the impression of biological cell structures, while others appear not unlike submerged marine life."The movement of the water makes the inks travel on the paper, leaving a physical mark with the same fluidity of nature," Tonito explains. "The result is an image that cannot be re-created by the human hand." We will send you a Certificate of Authenticity signed and dated by the artist.
