ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The work is inspired by charreadas from Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico that I attended before, focusing not only on the traditional parts of this cultural event, an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity recognized by the UNESCO, but on other unique ones. The set of all the works made in 2019 was seen in the "Charros" exhibition at the Brownsville Museum of Fine Arts, evoking different emotions to the spectators. The approach to a theme begins by analyzing the study of light and shadow with charcoal, and sometimes the theme is repeated with a sanguine. The study is deepened with inks and/or watered inks that finally gives way to watercolor. After trying many other papers, 140 lb. Cold Press Strathmore Watercolor Paper was chosen due to the quality of the paper and the proximity of the technique of watered inks to watercolors.

Born in Brownsville, Texas (USA), 1962. Raised in Madrid (Spain), I returned to my hometown, Brownsville, after fifty years to get to know it better. The unique melting pot of cultures, unique to Brownsville since its founding, is a constant source of inspiration and a positive influence to know other places, new challenges. I work with watercolors by placing the paper vertically and in different ways. The wet-on-dry technique allows me to control the pigment, while I achieve chance through semi-transparent layers and or dripping using the wet-on-wet technique. My watercolors are traces of a life in the exceptional place where I live, where limits and potentialities coexist. I want to awaken memories and moods in the viewers. velezjuan (Instagram) juanmanuelvelezsalinas (Facebook) Public Collections Brownsville Museum of Fine Art Brownsville Historical Association.
