"Alone time" Painting

"The paddle is a battlefield". Every time I see a painting of velayarse instinctively I frame an imaginary compass with the look, as if from those compositions emerged the orchestra of his life and is that, the frozen gesture is transformed into a jazz harmony, as one who plays within a scheme Entering and exiting, improvising with full energy, Jose Carlos makes music while painting and painting when he is a percussionist in the midst of the fury of execution. Velayarse is played in the painting as one who plans a flight, with adrenaline and somehow used the streets of Lima, his painting has always smelled of city, the street vendor living it, the market there at a step, his painting distills The music of chaos with urban colors juxtaposed one after another, like living beings escaped from cages ready to live and vibrate in their paintings. For José Carlos Velayarse, both life and his palette, are a battlefield, (best of all) and he knows it very well, knows that this palette will stain an infinite canvas that is an act of faith and liberation in front of the Apocalypse of a city that inspires it with its speed and danger, an act of faith for the hard street that inspires and the sensibility of an artist who takes revenge with beauty, color and passion.
