About The Artwork
I’m fascinated by the spectacle of, “celebrity,” but more specifically, how we treat celebrities or beautiful people different because of looks or fame. I wonder what they think about this, "preferential treatment." I'm sure it makes them feel great and it probably inflates their egos tremendously. I’m not a celebrity artist so, I wouldn’t know. But, I don’t think I’m alone on this because I hear people add things like this all the time, “...and, he’s a really nice guy,” or, “...and, she’s got a heart of gold,” implying that, yes, they're special but, this additive normalizes them. Now, I know we all basically think the same and have the same basic needs and desires. What I’m talking about are the reflective moments, when they’re alone and away from the crowd. Do they still feel privileged or inherently deserving or, do they just drift off in random thoughts like everyone else. And possibly, their insecurities are magnified as a result of being in the spotlight. Even with all the glory and adulations, I wouldn't think it's much fun to live in a fishbowl.

Statement: What is human, if not a catalyst to express the abstract form. There is a type of transcendence that occurs in Art, an almost contradictory hypnotic state of awareness. The existence of that intimate relationship between a painting and its viewer is fundamental, the obscure and imperceptible language that is only recognized by each individual, my mother would say, “ I know what I like.” There is an intentional evasiveness in my work, these are the things that are implied. When figures and nature are more about shapes and atmosphere they are reduced to emotion, this mood is their strength. Abstraction, by its very nature is disconnected and ambiguous, it’s this detachment from reality that allows it to become a middle ground for cognitive subject matter. Something familiar but not specific - a sense of place but from a separate reality. See more: http://www.ajvalero.com/about-3/
