MEET PAYAMI
"All the detail, the combination of the color with the texture it’s energy. It's explosive and it lives in me until I get it out on canvas."
The multifaceted Dominican was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on December 18,1967. Payami was enamored by the beauty of nature and drawn to painting and the arts. It was there he cultivated what God bestowed upon him- a beautiful gift bequeathed to his parents, relatives, friends and acquaintances: the portrayal on canvas of the innumerable colors that adorn the diversities of life.

To those who do not love the arts, the arts capture emotions, sadness, happiness, charm, living alongside nature, knowing the environment; the art of Payami says it all. Payami The abstract expressionist acrylic and colored pencil paintings of Dominican Republic artist Payami (Miguel Payano) are living canvases, full of energy and movement, and replete with human emotion. In his artistic process, Payami uses a spatula, brush, and other implements to lay the paint thickly onto the canvas, resulting in multi-dimensional and highly textured images, where broad swaths of color are juxtaposed with fine lines and often delicate forms. A hallmark of Payami’s work is his use of color which is inspired by his home in Dominican Republic: colors that are tropical and breathing, with lots of life and plenty of inertia. Central to Payami’s work is the texture he creates on the canvas, providing depth which in turn imparts much of the emotionality and meaning contained within each image. As he explains, "I need the texture because it represents me—it empowers me. All the detail, the combination of the color with the texture it’s energy. It's explosive and it lives in me until I get it out on canvas."
Payami currrently Lives and Works in Hollywood, Florida in the United States.
