His artistic expression aims to portray the transfiguration of material and spiritual life. Eleazar Sanchez reflects through his artistic styles episodes of his life while leaving an open window of interpretation for those who unconsciously seek to see themselves in his work.<\/p>\n<p>His artistic training is a combination of classical painting and classical art techniques as well as personal artistic experimentation. In 1997, Eleazar graduates with a Professorate of Arts from the Academia Bellas Artes, in El Salvador. In 1998, after a small cultural artistic parentheses in Mexico City, where he gains a deeper understanding of social and cultural symbolism, he moves to New York City where he continues his visual-plastic research. While in New York, Eleazar is confronted with a dynamic and chaotic metropolitan reality, which inspires him to further experiment with new expressive techniques and to give light to images of oneiric restlessness that merge with the virtuous illusion of an engulfing metropolis. In 2002, his journey takes him to Italy in search for new artistic enlightenment. It is in Sicily that he is captivated by the majestic yet indolent allure of the land. Eleazar takes base in Palermo, and continues to build on new artistic and visual challenges, which in turn lead him to win different prizes and become recognized as a surrealist voice in Italy and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, Eleazar finds a dialogue between painting and the theater. He is contracted as a set designer and is given the freedom to design, paint, and oversee the construction and decoration of scenographic installations that are commissioned by both, public and private organizations, including the Assemblea Regionale Siciliana. Concurrently, from 2004 to 2008 Eleazar joins the Compagnia Teatrale Dialettale di Vito Zappal\u00e0, as a scenographer. His vision is such that in 2005, Eleazar enters one of his sets design into Cartolina della Solidariet\u00e0, a national competition sponsored by UNICEF, where he wins First Place. The work is then used to create the official collector\u2019s stamp of Poste Italiane for the month of December.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, Eleazar\u2019s reputation as a surrealist continues to take momentum in Italy. Eleazar is awarded an Honorary Degree in Classe di Pittura by the Accademia Internazionale, Citt\u00e0 di Roma. The Degree is organized by the Embassy of El Salvador in Rome in collaboration with the Italo-Latin American Institute of Rome and the Accademia Internazionale, Citt\u00e0 di Roma, as a way to recognize Eleazar\u2019s work in the collective exhibition El Salvador Oggi, which showcases Salvadoran culture abroad.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Eleazar joins the Cultural Association L&#8217;Incontro of Camporeale. There, Eleazar becomes greatly interested in Sicilian society and begins to contribute as a political cartoonist. Soon after, Eleazar is a voice in the Sicilian political climate and his political cartoons are one of the main attractions in the newspaper L&#8217;Incontro.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, after many years of exposure to the great Italian masters and being submerged in the beauty of religious art, Eleazar\u2019s natural attraction to spirituality leads him to explore iconography and religious subjects in his work. As a result, his surrealistic style becomes the perfect bridge between religion, art, and the people. Namely, one of Eleazar\u2019s first religious artworks, a rendition of the Madonna del Phileremo, hangs at the Priory of Catania of the Order of the Hospitaller Knights of Malta. That same year, a ceremony is offered in honor of Eleazar, in which he is given the Distinction of Honor by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of El Salvador, for internationally disseminating Salvadoran culture through painting. During the ceremony, Eleazar donates two works of Our Lady Virgen de la Paz to the Salvadoran Embassies before the Holy See and the Italian Republic, further confirming Eleazar as a strong voice in sacred-contemporary art.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Eleazar paints one of the most important religious works in his career. An altar piece for the Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore in Milan. The work is inaugurated on May 23, 2015 on the occasion of the Beatification of the Martyr Msgr. Oscar Romero, to whom the painting is dedicated for his martyrdom during the Salvadoran Civil War. That same year, Eleazar is invited to the Salvadoran Embassy to be part of the delegation of representation for the Audience with the Holy Father Pope Francis in thanks for the altar piece. During the ceremony, Eleazar, via the Consular Representative, presets a unique portrait he painted of Blessed Bishop Romero to His Holiness Pope Francis. The portrait is now part of the Vatican\u2019s private collection.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Eleazar takes part in a small but reputable exhibition in the Diocesan Museum of Piazza Armerina, in which a series of his works are showcased for six months, including a second portrait of Romero d\u2019America, a reinterpretation of the work donated to the Holy Father Pope Francis. In April of that same year, Eleazar has a solo show at the Galleria Frammenti D&#8217;Arte in Rome. His style was so well received that, he is adopted as a permanent artist for the gallery. Such exposure helps Eleazar gain greater notoriety, thus leading to sponsorships in other exhibitions across Italy and Europe. Consequently, Eleazar is invited to show his work at the German Art Collective in Berlin, and participates in group shows like La Via degli Artisti where his work is displayed for six consecutive months.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Eleazar continues to partake in solo and group exhibitions that showcase his surrealistic paintings as well as his cultural and religious works across Italy and the South of France. With a never ending thirst for growth and artistic development, his creative voice continues to gain momentum through an eclectic array of styles that also encompass contemporary art, portraiture, and landscapes. Most recently, Eleazar\u2019s interest extend beyond the canvas. He is collaborating on a project that merges food and art. The upcoming restaurant Saley Art &#8211; Bistro Gallery in Nice, France, will exhibit his work while also kindling patrons with dishes inspired by Eleazar\u2019s paintings.<\/p>\n<p>As Eleazar\u2019s work continues to get notoriety in Italy and Europe, it is his ability to create emotions on the viewer through painting that makes his style transcend language. His unremitting desire to create result in a complex combination of personal, provocative, and spiritual subjects. Through his paintings, Eleazar expresses his cultural identity in parallel with his own sense of self realization in a singular voice that reconciles his inner passions with his illusionistic vision as an artist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDUCATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Accademia Internazionale Citt\u00e0 di Roma, Rome, Italy, 2016<br \/>\nHonorary Degree in Painting and Cultural Dissemination;<br \/>\nawarded in recognition for work performed during the Year of Mercy, Diocese Museum of Piazza Armerina<\/p>\n<p>Ministry of Foreign Relations, Embassy of El Salvador in Rome, 2015<br \/>\nHonorary Distinction, Dissemination of Salvadorian Culture Abroad<\/p>\n<p>Accademia Internazionale Citt\u00e0 di Roma, Rome, Italy\u00a0 2005<br \/>\nHonorary Degree in Painting;
