Inspiration I enjoy creating with colors, shapes (figures) and the creation of pure forms and abstracts. Painting is for me more than a natural ability that is 'Joy' of creation and expression to the world. With a diverse mix of colors and their persistent and brilliant intensity, embodies the ultimate journey to an enlightening beginning and no immediate ending or exit on sight. The result is not only (just) anything but the last experience a wonderful journey undertaken (covered) between me and the colors in their purest forms.
Working with polycarbonate plastic (the CD’S) The idea here is basically the interaction with light, plastic mailing carbonate (CD'S), acrylic colors combined, creating a halo of color spectrum, a cosmic explosion of colors prism, reflecting and looking like a 'Rainbow', and a spherical arrangement. With or without direct light, the interaction of carbonate plastic post on the canvas and arranged in coordination with the myriad of colors impulsive, creates a feeling of a special show, sleight of hand a dilemma between the pigments mystic splash of colors applied to raw and the ultimate essence of colors itself, ' Light'.
Art Art is and could be applied as the ultimate mean and intention in obtaining and fully manifesting your god given aptitude and therefore, living your existence and purpose in this planet earth and the entire galaxy.
Pensamiento del Artista Soy un fragmento infinitesimal de ' el Universo ', y por lo tanto existo en el ahora y siempre.
