FERNANDO ALLENDE’S ART

Mexican Superstar Fernando Allende is a lot of things: singer, actor, painter, film producer and director, making him one of the first true crossover stars in the industry. Born in Mexico City, Fernando is credited as being one of the first actors of his generation to make the transition from Latin America to Hollywood, starring in notable films and TV shows such as Miami Vice, Flamingo Road and The Hitchhiker. His art is emblematic of his spirit, colorful, rich in culture thanks to his Mexican roots and as a now resident of Puerto Rico, he continues to explore the magic of the Latin inspired themes evoking a whimsical painting of figures, geometric shapes, and funny details. His art attracts a lively audience who collects abstracts and imagery with lyrical emotion.
