I painted this one after finishing the Giants. I figured out that i need it to accomplish a large scale painting again using metal. i used a 22 gauge prepainted galvanized steel sheet 2' x 10' wide (0.61 x 3.05 mt) This artwork contain the following pertinent facts: 1 I painted it while standing up (not on my knees anymore). because i framed the giants at this point at the same time. 2 It was my pleaseure to do it. 3 The beach contains people hanging around. 4 The Levitating man is named Señor Lomelí. The character started in the original painting named: "la inevitable y lenta levitacion del señor Lomelí". meaning: " The slow and inevitable levitation of Mr Lomelí." i did that painting in 2017. The character strikes again but this time ascending in Technicolor. 5 The viewer might attach certain aspects or details to specific things in their own lifes, random memory thoughts, or maybe nostalgia which, is what I felt during its creation. Some will find a connection to the image and the full context. 6 I chose metal to paint on it again. It is a great surface to work on. The sheet was a remaining piece of metal to be cut for gutters. I rescued it from becoming scrap. It was sitting in form of coil and i did not knew what to do with it. The day i decided to clean the studio, i took them both ( the giants as well) metal sheets to my outdoor studio with the idea to cover the wood slabs that makes the flooring. Once there, I made the desicion to use them for artwork. I embraced the idea of the metal showing its scars as it is. The texture is not clean and pristine, but on the contrare, the surface was and still is irremediable scratched and filled with paint on its dents. Wavyness on the uper part of the painting indicates that the surface is firm attached to its frame and never lose tension, but it is not flat. I liked the idea of having a surface with movement, so i used it for the sky. This waves and dents are caused by its previous life as a metal sheet. Now it posess a dignified makeover and will live forever as an original, authentic artwork. 7 This artwork was made at the outdoors studio named the tunnel. 8 I went direct with paint on this one without sketching, 9 Nobody asked but, I felt like a lion eating a zebra while painting it. Recomendations Listen to Vivaldi's 4 seasons, i will explain why Summer movement Minute 17:57 to 20:59 Why Vivaldi For several hours i stared, while listening to vivaldi it seemed that the paint textures and grains blended perfectly with each other inside the music structure with arpeggios and harmonic movements. The body and buildings tend to lift the painting to a unique place where they meet and exist altogether, creating the correct mood and feel intentions.

Architect, designer, musician, and painter, Dan is a Multidisciplinary artist who grew up surrounded by art. Since his childhood, the great master's family books made him fall in love with artistic creation. Inspired by rebel artists toward aesthetic dogma, Mexican and international painters marked his criteria. Since then, he is compromised to create art from his guts without any mental barrier or hesitation. Compelling paintings, Intriguing paintings, screaming paintings. Dan submerges the spectator into the most profound areas of his psyche. His canvasses tell stories that surround human nature. The urban landscape is not limited to acting as a sterile backstage but performs and plays a part as another character. His Concept as well as his graphic language it’s clearly influenced by his architectural knowledge. Dan’s work reminds surreal expressionism. One can find cityscapes as a "leitmotiv" in his work, Dan deforms de ideal accuracy, precision, and perfection that architecture tries to achieve, by comparing reality with the chaotic order that nature really delivers. He "fixes" his buildings straight and artificial lines by tracing free hand and obtaining a sketchy and imprecise trace that tries to copy nature in its purest form. The cities that he paints evolve into a poetic rhyme over utopic architecture. Composed of artificial and natural energy, his graphic dialogue presents non-static scenes. The collective spirit in his paintings speaks about a constant fight against, conformism and the full understanding of oneself as a mind, spirit, and body. His work is filled with elements that are related to the final concept, building micro-narrative stories on each painting.
