Nacho Frades is a Spanish Digital Painter from Madrid born in 1967. His first contact with digital painting was in 1987 with Deluxe Paint. My work is about light, happiness, memories and silence.

ABOUT
Nacho Frades
I was born in Madrid in 1967, my traditional studies as a painter starts at the age of 10 in a little school of my neighborhood. But it´s not enough and I visit all the Museums of Madrid and painting oil copies of famous artworks, I remember a dog in an artwork of Goya, that I painted when in home.
My Digital Painter formation starts by surprise, in 1987, looking for a game I found Deluxe Paint, a primitive painting program with 16 colors developed by Electronic Arts.
Since the moment I saw I could paint in a computer my life changed, I was absolutely
excited!
Later I worked with 3D, compo, and all kinds of programs.
I started to work in many weird things, until I found Kandor Graphics and started to work
in computer animated films, doing two of them.
After this period I said to my wife: I´m gonna be only a painter, and I did, I become full time artist until now.
Now I only do Digital Painting, putting in the canvas my ideas with absolute freedom.
I´m very prolific, I paint all the time, and my subjects are very surprising, to paint is my life and I paint all that comes to my mind.
