“My talent is a gift I joyfully share with you…enjoy my art.”

Augusto Argandoña has gained recognition for his crisp and realistic watercolors. With a degree in Industrial Design from California State University, he practiced this profession for 19 years. While working as a Designer, he started painting watercolors as a hobby. As his skill expanded, he began showing his art publicly. The positive response his work received fueled his enthusiasm and in 1990, he began a new career painting full time.

Based on his formal training as a designer, Argandoña has developed a distinctive painting style which has a wide appeal and provides him with many opportunities to use his talent. His artistic versatility and expertise in the challenging medium of watercolors coupled with his approach at marketing his art won him a feature article in North Light Magazine.

Previously a resident of East Aurora, N.Y., Argandoña moved to Sarasota, Florida in 1997. Exposure to a large national and international tourist audience was the nudge he was looking for. It is this audience that is the source of his extensive clientele.

Aside from his art of local tourist attractions, wildlife, and other images which he sells in print form, he continues to receive commissions for paintings of personal residences, family portraits, and pets. Additionally, the artist gives watercolor lessons and workshops at his studio through out the year.

Argandoña’s paintings have won numerous awards including First Place and Best of Show awards in Florida, Western New York and Ohio.
