Abismo - Abyss Painting

My name is Albert Tartaro, I am Uruguayan. I was born in 1978 in Montevideo, as a child lived in the countryside but since I was twelve years oldI had been living in the capital. Like many I guess, one way or another we have been linked different forms of artistic expression since childhood, in my case I could say that the drive shaft of my artistic life has been music, live playing and basically teach my instrument, the guitar . Anyway as a single form of expression was never enough and write songs, poetry, a story has helped me a lot to get closer to the reality around me and help me think. But the painting also generates reflections, returnes and creates emotions related to my inner world of course, but this world is changing and changing when Interact with others and observing my arround. I deeply believe that art, far beyond our rational and linear discourse understanding, gives us the possibility to analyze in different planes whatever that interest us and is a good and large mirror to look at us. So composing a song, a musical piece, make a simple drawing or writing a story is not a simple hobbie for me, a mere entertainment, there is a return to the work that goes revealing things in us until we passed to another, but the act of creating is not completed. On the other hand always it provides tools for thinking. Today in a world where everything seems so compartmentalized, as in ghettoes where others are as alien and dangerous and unintelligible but humans, then not so different. Therefore art allows certain mediated besides being a great tool to individual, collective level, because we're not learning alone, we are alone as all in the ultimate sense of the word, but are part of a whole in which art as a universal language barriers and allows to break many, hence the importance I give art, can empathize with others at the end of the day are not so different once certain artificial barriers are broken. And maybe because of that, waht I do, what we do are no entirely our work.
