Juan Varela

Thread painting style

I’d like to introduce Juan Varela, a talented artist whose work has made a significant impact both locally and nationally.

Juan Varela unique artistic style has caught the attention of numerous art lovers and organizations,

including The White House Historical Association, Washington, DC.

He is renowned for his innovative "Painting with Threads" technique, which involves a stunning fusion of embroidery art and 3D design, often creating visually and emotionally engaging pieces that leave a lasting impression.

Juan Varela artwork has been featured in prominent museums, gallery's and cultural centers in Palm Springs, Ontario, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Napa, Oakland, Redlands, Palm Desert, Joshua Tree and 29 Palms.

He has been an active participant in art events across California, and his works are celebrated for their emotional depth, using shapes, colors, and textures to explore powerful themes.

Another characteristic of his distinctive style is that Varela's uses the "back of canvas" in most of his works.
