Since the first brush stroke I fell in love with the art of painting, bringing to life emotions and thoughts, with the potential to inspire others.
MessageHello readers,
Art Josh Perez began in early 2020, around when the Corona pandemic was first announced, I found myself unemployed, so I took a few moments to assess myself as a being, and it turned out, that I had a niche for painting, imagine from May 1984 - April 2020 not even considering on picking up a brush, let alone placing paint on a canvas. But surely after a sabbatical taken from the embrace of New York City, a place I called an upbringing home, to a very rowdy hotel room in Miami beach Florida, an artist was realized, since then I've had the privilege of placing paint on many canvases. Be warned, that I do consider myself male, at the very least half if we are to base this of chromosomes, and LGBTQ+ friendly, and if you have made it this far into my self biography, then I sincerely thank you for your interest in not only my art but me as well.
Statement
Sometimes when I paint, I think of the people who will see my art, perhaps that weird kid who is a little different from others, or the drama queen who needs to be at the center of things, I visualize them, regardless of who or what they associate as, and for a moment, I can see the change that my art may have contributed in their existence. I perceive, that illustrating ones feelings through colors and images, with hopes of influencing others, to be beautiful. Being able to inspire others, or invoke a sense of familiarity, with ones paintings, better said with ones art, that is to me, sharing love, or sadness, perhaps rage, or even shame, an unspoken dialogue between the artist, and spectator that says I exist, and you are not alone.
