Alejandro Obregon's 93rd Birthday
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Our doodle in Colombie today draws inspiration from the work of painter Alejandro Obregon for what would be his 93rd birthday. Recognized as one of Colombia’s top painters, Obregon’s style is noted for its use of color and geometric forms.
Doodler Betsy Bauer found it both fun and challenging learning to emulate Obregon’s style. “While his work is abstract, you can still find specific forms throughout his pieces. His paint strokes and color choices are bold… I hope to have done his work justice!”
