Painting has been the main source of my journey into finding myself.
It is after 45 years of searching in the art field that I’m now starting to have a glimpse of what it looks like to be an artist.
Sometimes when I practice art my goal is to deliver impact through abstractions provided by my own introspection. I am concerned with the purity of lines, the force of color and a connection with the reality provided by my experiences in life and by my richly fragmented culture.
Other times I like to splash color on the canvas until I’m tired and then leave the work alone so the next day I can discover the meaning of what I have done or, find an argument to defend it.
For years the curved line started to be the prominent most reoccurring aspect of my paintings, drawings and sculptures.
That obsession for the curved line was born with my fascination for admiring the adorning curves on ornamental iron works.
Ornamental wrought iron works protecting windows or doors of houses or buildings, covering the brutality of the straight bars that will not allow you in without permission.
So, without permission, I decided to liberate the curved line, to teach people that the straight line is the one that encages and look us up, on the other hand the curved line liberates by directing us to creativity, generosity, beauty and unity with nature.
