​​Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest in 1984 Sanchez began making art at an early age. Today, Brian currently works and lives in Seattle, Washington practicing as a multi - disciplinary visual artist with a focus in painting, photography, and sculpture. 

Sanchez’s work explores abstraction through stark interplays of shape, color, and contrast, creating dynamics of light and shadow, surface and space that compel attention. Whether in paint, photography, sculpture, or installation, Sanchez uses color as a means to communicate to his viewers. His vibrant palette creates a visual impact that awakens raw emotion and resonates within our inner states of being. Subtly or powerfully contrasting fields of color seemingly vibrate with intensity while near by line sequences and compositional relationships draw the viewer inward. These works examine the complexities of human emotion by inviting a presentness and curiosity from us to surrender and truly experience color.
