Sanchez, Jorge

Jorge Sanchez, a mixed media artist from the Philippines, spent over a decade working as a pharmacist in Manila before relocating to the UK. It was only after he started a small picture framing business in London that he discovered his passion for painting, reigniting an interest in art that he had harboured since his school days.

Jorge is drawn to vibrant colours and intricate textures, which he builds using a variety of media. The natural world serves as a wellspring of inspiration, with many of his works reflecting the beauty and drama of remembered landscapes seen on his travels. When he begins a painting, he seldom has a specific image in mind. As he applies layers of paint or scrapes them away, the canvas takes on a life of its own, and the final image emerges organically. Over the past eight years, he has developed a unique abstract/impressionist style.

Jorge has been showing his work in galleries, art fairs and Open House events since 2022.
