Painter Jose Julio Gaona was born on April 12, 1943, in Aguascalientes. As a teen he began his painting and engraving studies at Bellas Artes Aguascalientes, moving to Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas, in Mexico City three years later. Best known for his paintings of women and girls, Gaona uses vibrant colors and strong lines. Regarding the universe as magical, he paints with a gentle, free style. His work is described as non-aggressive, innocent. While his figures are proportional, they are stylized in geometric, rather flat, planes. His themes tend to be of everyday Mexican life.
Gaona has painted over 300 canvases. His work has been exhibited across Mexico and abroad. He currently lives in Mexico City.
