"MUSA" Painting

Since the late 70, my artwork has evolved and permuted from the stoic capture of the rural landscapes of the Baja California region, to the kinesthetic movement of the human figure. However, my profession is not art, nor painting ... it is architecture, and this has allowed me to appreciate the physical distance between humans and their environment, forming an essential part of the origin of my aesthetic appreciation for the creation of art, particularly painting. As an architect, I need the physical space to build, just as a tree needs space to grow and form roots; that is why I find in the shadow of a tree the direct vein that invites me to be a creator and metaphorically emulate my rural, city and human surroundings.
In my work I explore dreams, desire, time, disenchantment, grief, joy, nostalgia and many other feelings parallel to those of a writer, typical of the artist and my being; allegorically intertextualizing an association with my subjective aesthetic vision and the physical creation of the artistic work. The language of my work is simple and clear. I try to capture scenes, portraits and contemplative landscapes within an accessible and friendly language for the viewer. The above leaves superficiality aside and adds themes that address repulsion, violence and human pain, of course, without leaving behind the desire for the female figure.
The techniques I use are diverse: graphite, pastel, ink, watercolor, acrylic, oil, mixed media and experimentation with materials that are adverse, diverse and of random use.
During the search, I stumble over my own ideas and opinions; however, I work with them until I transform them into subjective realities. I intend for my painting to have few strokes and that the color gives life to the form and delimits its content and feeling. The intention of my work does not exist as such but rather as part of my search for the diversity of feelings, analogies and metaphors that invite the viewer to perceive and expand on the sensations, experiences and emotions molded in my plastic work.
