Ameboide XIX Diptych (2022) is a vibrant geometric abstract painting by Juan Carlos Amador, composed of two richly colored panels filled with expressive organic marks and layered pigment. Bright blues, greens, reds, yellows, pinks, oranges, and turquoise create a lively chromatic field, while repeated rounded forms generate rhythm, movement, and visual depth across both compositions. Rooted in Amador’s exploration of color and optical perception, the diptych transforms fragmented pigment into an immersive contemporary abstraction where each mark contributes to a dynamic relationship between repetition, variation, and color. The work reflects the artist’s distinctive approach to abstraction, balancing spontaneous painterly gestures with an underlying sense of structure and visual cohesion.
Transcromático by Juan Carlos Amador showcases abstract canvases that use thick, layered paint to evoke the fluidity and light of water sports, rather than literal representation. By emphasizing the materiality of the medium, the work echoes historical trends in painting that balance visceral, emotional expression with a structural, analytical approach. The paintings invite viewers to transition from an initial, sensory experience of color and form to a deeper understanding of the artist's creative process and intentionality.

Juan Carlos Amador López is a multimedia artist, born in Mayagüez and raised on the coast of Aguadilla. He has dedicated himself to the visual arts since completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus, with his creative emphasis placed on the concept of color. Through his contemporary works, he revisits and reevaluates the Neo-Impressionist pictorial method—also known as Divisionism—characteristic of the late 19th-century movement.
His recent abstractions display a unique style and focus on optical color combinations, ranging from the fragmented application of pure pigmentation to extensive, oval shapes of semi-opaque pigments. Amador superimposes these translucent color patches with the intention of filling the plane with an assortment of hues frozen in a process of transformation. Free from the burden of a specific narrative or message, the meaning of these works depends on the appreciation of each viewer—on their individual and biological capacity to instantly perceive, comprehend, and interpret color introspectively.
Juan Carlos Amador has exhibited his work both within and outside of Puerto Rico, with his most recent exhibition having been on the island of Saint Thomas. His work is also part of important local and international private collections.
