WEB INFO

I am a painter/digital artist working in New York City. I received a state scholarship to attend Rutgers University where I was awarded a bachelors degree. I completed my graduate studies in fine art at Hunter College in Manhattan. I received a Robert Smithson Scholarship to attend the Brooklyn Museum School of Art where I studied sculpture in between obtaining my degrees.  I am a Fulbright Fellow, a recipient of numerous awards. The Nohra Haime Gallery in NYC has represented my paintings for fourteen years now and recently I have began to show my digital work at the Gallery Boreas in Brooklyn. My artwork is in numerous shows yearly throughout the world and is in public and private collections worldwide. And it has been widely written about frequently in magazines, newspapers and stock literature including for example The New York Times, Art in America and Nexus Art. I am an Associate Professor at New Jersey City University and a painting instructor at The Art Students League of New York. Email addres: hugo.Bastidas@verizon.net

 

During my four-month residency I accomplished all that I had set out to work towards. Camac afforded me the necessary space and solitude to complete seven large paintings with supportive sketches for an up coming major show in New York City. I was also able to work on my digital work easily. The relaxed atmosphere at Camac is definitely for the dedicated and professional. I enjoyed my stay; made a number of friends at the residency and in the Nogent sur Seine area. Because of Camac’s close proximity to Paris I took a number of trips into the “City of Lights”. I traveled the Champagne countryside extensively, visiting Rimes, Troyes, Provins and the smaller wine producing villages in the region. The staff is very friendly, helpful and accommodating and go out of their way to assist you. The best form of transport around Camac for me was bicycle; the surroundings are quite beautiful and riding a bike amplifies your appreciation
