About The Artwork

n my experience, there are few places in the world where you can find visual contrasts as striking and humanity as vibrantly exposed as in Cuba. Ultimately I see myself as a storyteller. I develop emotional narratives about human experiences deriving from architectural forms and material objects and oil painting is the perfect technique to develop this series. I use plenty of layering splashing, dripping, and scratching. The process itself is a metaphor for the temporal transformations that the buildings and objects I depict went through. It is a process of adding and subtraction, creation and destruction.

My art is a continuous creative search for raw authenticity in urban environments and human forms that are constantly changing. Individuals change as they experience life and cities develop and/or decay through time. People and places have history and experience. Cities are weathered by time and through use, taking on a personality of their own from the people and the elements that have interacted with them. It is a combination of all of these factors that creates authenticity. Looking for subject matter I find simple things that we see every day, things that become symbolic once they are taken out of context. I experiment with the juxtaposition of places, faces, and architectural designs that reflect my diverse personal experiences. My story is a vivid illustration of the end of the last century - a time of deconstruction, discontinuity, and dislocation. I find that black-and-white prints convey contradictory images better than any other medium by reducing them to the most basic color contrast. My work provides the full spectrum of techniques ranging from renaissance engraving to digital photogravure.
