About The Artwork

This work represents for me, the perfect example of the mysterious subconscious mind at work. For the most part this piece remained hidden in a closet, almost discarded. Until one day I felt the urge to look for it and bring it back to my awareness. Unfinished for almost two years, within a couple of seconds I found the missing pieces and the puzzle was solved, but it was not just finished, but unexpectedly full of meaning and symbolism for me. Immediately the concept that came to my mind was WATER. For weeks I had been pondering about the meaning and symbolism of the complex, and deeply intriguing properties of water within the realm of true personal power and it’s most mystic property: “FLUIDITY”. It’s only by embracing this quality while navigating life paradoxes, events, illusions and disillusions that we manage to acquire all the information necessary for our evolution and the acquisition of real power, the power of the self. It is only in that hidden space of the soul, free from the constraints imposed by the illusion of control that we can overcome the limitations of our conscious mind and better grasp the intricate web of messages contained in our reality. Water exerts an uncanny power in my subconscious, and it is constantly appearing in my dreams as tsunamis, pools, oceans and fountains, so therefore It manages to constantly sneak into my work, not in an obvious literal way, but as a hidden code, a mood, a feeling that the spectator is almost always able to grasp. Although never threatening, always mysterious, fascinating, full of riddles that tantalize me to evolve to be able to solve… Water can be quiet and soothing, can be playful and life giving, all mighty and vengeful killer. Can change state and adopt any form, fill any space, be extremely patient and yet carve mountains. It bends to the information around it and TRANSCENDS it..

ARTIST STATEMENT Mine has been a continue struggle for reinventing my reality, a constant resistance to the indoctrination induced by society and my time in history. I’m always looking for ways of defying the paradigms set upon me regarding ethnicity, place of birth, gender, physical appearance, social status and age. I have the firm believe that we are more tan what our believe system allow us to comprehend. From an early age we are programmed to understand our world from a certain angle and we live build our reality from that solely point, without questioning it’s veracity, or effectiveness, simply assuming it as an absolute truth. I think this narrow perspective forces us to function from a numbed level of consciousness, as consumer robots, caught up in drama, petty fights, worries about the future and constant fear, unable to move forward to a better and more evolved level of existence. This collective blindness strikes me and makes me search for a way out, a way of establishing new patterns of thought and perception. The manifestation of this internal restlessness as a physical expression has been the birth of a new life form, a world that exists in isolation from everyday boredom, a doorway that connects me to a different dimension, through painting. I don’t find any pleasure in representing things that are already in the world, human figure, portraits landscapes etc. The way I see it, is that if I’ve being given the opportunity to be creator, why don’t take it and truly CREATE! Create new life forms, new worlds, new textures, new feelings and perceptions. As an individual I’ve never felt the need to constraint myself to what is expected or accepted. In a weird way I’ve always being able to see in a very clear way the structure of paradigms, and have a hard time understanding how people fall so easily for them, and all that they miss when they do so. I’m aware that by taking this approach I may create art that is uncomfortable at times and maybe not well accepted or even understand at all, but for me that is a risk worth taken, what drives me is not the aim to indulge in the creation of beautiful, pleasing objects but to add something new to the world, a new perspective, to convey a message of UNTAPPED POSSIBILITY, of HOPE that there is something more, that what we know and understand as humans at this point in our history, is so primitive compared to what is really out there.
