Profile Information
- About Me:
- Born in 1955 in El Salvador, José Ventura has drawn and painted as far back as he can remember. Graduating from the Art School, he worked several years at the National Museum while pursuing his painting. He studied several years in Mexico, then migrated in Canada where he continued to paint, inspired by his childhood memories, the remembrance of his native land and the discovery of his new country.
After a year spent in France, haunting museums, painting and exhibiting, he returned to Canada in 1992 and became fascinated by glass. Learning the techniques of glass painting, he designed and executed stained glass pieces for churches and private homes. He perfected the blending of two traditional glass techniques, fusing and painting, to create pieces that bear the full flavor of his style. In 1996, with his partner, he created the carved glass panels that make up the entrance of St. Andrews Wesley church in downtown Vancouver.
In 1998, always striving to express his vision in his highly personal, playful way, he started to paint on ceramics. His many customers and friends have very well received his whimsical dishes, vases, bowls and teapots.
José Ventura continues to paint on canvas, work in glass and paint on ceramics. He is planning several exhibitions and has many art projects for the next few years as head of his company José Ventura Designs.

- About my art
- When I sit at my easel each morning, brush in hand, I start a time travel that brings me back to my childhood and youth in Central America, visions from the past people my imagination and take a life of their own. All I have to do is anchor them to the canvas.
However, I feel I still paint the world as it is, since some values, some moments are universally shared by all people at all times. The mother playing with her child, the dancer’s bodies delighting in the music, the musicians recreating their world with sound, the couple awed by a beautiful moonlit night are some of the central and inexhaustible themes of our humanity. This is the clay from which I recreate the world on canvas.
I paint the world as it is, as most of my themes draw from the human experience that we all share. I also sometimes paint the world as I wish it would be, perhaps that makes me an idealist.
