EC The Artist Story

Etienne Class was born on September 19, 1972, in Santurce Puerto Rico.

The art and the temptations marked the artist a lot later, who comes to have a confusion of talent or desires that derail the human being in adolescence. Etienne's artistic interests were street and urban.
At the time of the 80s the graffiti movement was the most street and vandalism, which is now the most active worldwide. In high school he take a class as an art elective, the artist draws to draw but he has been the best in class and all his friends admire him and his teacher. His teacher reassign him to an Associacion del Corazon poster event in PR, and Etienne wins first place.

It is the first time that the artist has been impacted by the reaction of the people and the value of his talent, winning the first price $300.
Between the temptations and not having a very deep knowledge of his talent and not knowing his person. Etienne stops drawing for a few years, leaves the university to be vandalizing and wasting the time of his life. It is not known that he admired the talent of his father Freddie Class with his details for realism and continuing to paint.

Among the lost times he knows music. Ruben blades and Tupac Shakur was an inspirational therapy that the artist got his attention and got the message that he could paint.
In 2001 he had contact with a gallery in San Juan PR, and he prepared his first exhibition entitled Evolution. It defines the difference in the way of life from the peasant to the citizen of his native country. His trajectory starts from there...

Ten years after the artwork produced by Etienne Class channels the unconscious as a means of unlocking the power of the imagination and reveals the contradictions in the everyday world and within modern society. His latest series, Routine of the Habits, examines human behaviors that are common in today's culture and tend to occur unconsciously. The work brings to life a new understanding of human nature and its transformative potential.

Now in the art world, he has become an infinite talent pool. Art is something common and vicious in the way we act or create art. Already the action of a banana on the wall or a chair with three legs up is art. But let's not forget the imagination of the other world that does not exist, if it does not exist in the minds of these artists who paint surrealism. After the decades, surrealism has become a difficult metaphor to understand and appreciate; for those who do not know poetry or philosophy. Etienne Class art is one of the most interesting and important of this century. It is to feel and appreciate, about the behavior of the human being. How we are and how we live.
