Cesar Del Valle’s drawings are not just exquisitely rendered but also interact with the very surface they are drawn upon. Rather than simply drawing the objects and places that the figures interact with Cesar creates unique situations where a figure might be holding up a crumpling part of the paper, jumping over an actual hole in the paper, or walking a tightrope that is constructed out of a pencil stuck through the paper. By creating these interactions Cesar not only wows the viewer with his ability to think outside the box begs the question did the drawing or the paper come first? More of Cesar’s interactions with the surface after the jump.

You’re primarily known for your pen and ink drawings, but recently returned to working in oils. What led you away from paints and why did you come back to them?
I started painting in high school for all the wrong reasons: I thought it was the only was anyone was going to take me seriously as an artist. Up until then I had been drawing in ball point pen. I loved cartoons and comic books but I was also loved the masters, I was a real art nerd and I didn’t know how to combine these two passions.
