Pily Torres

Ever since childhood fairytales and myths have fascinated me. I was often found sketching animals and various mystical creatures. But, I never ended up pursuing art in my studies.

In 2000 I received my general medicine degree in Colombia, South America. Shortly thereafter I began interacting with patients who consisted of mostly children. Every morning I would surprise them with a new animal drawing on the board, taking great pride in making them smile. I realized my art could make them happy. As a doctor, I eased their pain physically but as an artist I was able to make them forget that theywere sick.

In my spare time I would experiment with colors and try to create new techniques for my paintings. Bold, vivid colors and fantastic scenarios are essential to Pilyart. My paintings reveal the love I have for animals, the memories I have of my childhood, and the time I had spent with the sick children at the hospital.

The reaction I receive from people to my works of all ages is very encouraging to me. I love the smiles my paintings bring out. I wish for you to enjoy each one of them as much as I've enjoyed painting them.
