BIO

Emilio Lobato III was born in 1959 in San Pablo, a farming village in the Sangre de Cristo Range of Southern Colorado. Interested in reducing his subjects to essential elements, Lobato uses shapes, light and color to convey the “spirit” of the world around him. Lobato received a B.A. degree from Colorado College (Colorado Springs, CO). His work resides in numerous collections, including the Kirkland Museum (Denver, CO), the Denver Art Museum (Denver, CO), and The National Hispanic Cultural Center (Albuquerque, NM). The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center (Colorado Springs, CO) had a retrospective of Lobato’s work in 2011 titled, Mi Linda Soledad.
