Artist Statement
The exhibit is comprised of festive paintings. They awaken peace and reflect the global, universal, psychic, and emotional dispositions that dwell deep within my heart. The paintings are untitled, leaving the viewer to make his own interpretation that generates a personal and emotional experience. Continually enlightening new visions, the artwork comes from my subconscious, sublime, creative ecstasy.
The goal of my art is the quest of the unknown. A perfect work of art captures emotion and spirit with no limit of time yet describes a certain period in the universe. A painting awakens when it dematerializes before our eyes and in its transparency is left totally to the viewer’s imagination and interpretation. It is at this time that the viewer feels the same as me deep inside and the answer as to why he comes to my exhibit.
