Artist Statement:
My intention as an Artist is to create work that emancipate the joy of living and enhance the curiosity of the mind by empowering the knowledge and the truth about events in our community and to hopefully create dialog and solutions to the issues exposed by the piece.
Most of my pieces are multimedia and it tends to be Site Specific installation work. Temporary or permanent, I like to play with the space making it engaging and interactive for the observer, striving always to be a full sensory experience.
Usually the Idea surge from an external event, the content of my work reflects political, environmental or social Issues, the process involves a large amount of information and research also involves drawing, modeling, planning, mapping, etc. to finally achieve the culmination of the final piece.
Painting and drawing helps me to unleash the Ideas trapped in my mind, in a fast pace process and almost with my eyes closed I like to follow my instincts and discover the hidden image after, it is a much more expressive and interpersonal experience, most subjects are from my imagination how ever i tempt to use my memory as a model some times, i never draw or paint from nature.
