About the Artist: Stephen Capiz grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota but works out of Minneapolis in the Art District. It is important for him to be with fellow artists and other creative personalities. The intention behind Stephen's art is to bring a sense of celebration into the lives of his audience. This is brought through the use of colors, movement and intuitive content. The large canvases demand the attention in the room while the small landscapes instill comfort and make no demands. The paintings, large and small, are chronicles of his life. Where he has been and who he is today. Simple titles are essential to him and are sufficient verbal statements since the art is what captures the mind and soul. For example, The Day of the Dead series tells his stories of Mexico; or The Walls of Avila which expresses his infatuation with Spain that has stimulated significant creativity and imagination in Stephen's life and artwork. However, his technical ability and color sense overwhelms ones mind and the narrative content of some of these works is diminished. In other words, his artwork is more about ambiguity and contemplation rather than a specific thing or saga. Stephen began to paint as a young teen earning the nickname "modern" from his peers at school. His discovery of a book on modern art, found at the local city dump, would propel him on his journey. His parents were one of the first Mexican families to settle in Minnesota. It is here where his mother and father married and raised their many children. The lack of money in the early years made the city dump the closest art supply store. It began with whisk brooms, old brushes and industrial paint on linoleum. This became the norm in the early years. As his love of abstract grew, his landscapes soon emerged in an attempt to appease his strong and practical father who thought his abstracts were the work of a crazy man. Stephen's father thought that he should consider painting art people could understand and identify with. His work has continued to evolve over four decades, and after having explored and developed his original proposals one can see the passion that never seems to expire. The artists paintings can be found in many corporate and private collections as far away as Iceland, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Spain. As well as being part of the private collections of the President of Mexico, Vicente Fox. Hilton and Westin Hotels and Northwestern College are one of the many establishments that house Stephen Capiz's art. Most of his early work has never documented until the mid nineties. Unfortunately they can only be seen by those lucky enough to own them.
