Interview with Pilar de la Torre
In this video, Emilio Longo interviews Australian realist painter, Pilar de la Torre. Pilar has received training in the western realist tradition from many affluent studio-schools located in Australia, France, Italy, Spain and Russia. With a strong grounding in the Max Meldrum School of Tonal Realism, Pilar has developed her understanding of academic drawing by undertaking workshops and extended periods of study with some of today’s leading realist artists. Topics discussed include, Pilar’s background which involves a career in sustainability whilst simultaneously developing her drawing and painting skills in every spare moment, the decision to dedicate her life to painting full-time, her experiences in travelling the globe in search for artist-teachers and studio-schools with credibility, as well as her approach to working from life and her efforts in hosting workshops with artists from all over the world in determination to help Australia catch on to the renewed appreciation of well-crafted representational painting taking place in Europe and the United States.
