About The Artwork
I never know how a painting is going to turn out, I sort of have an idea but I’m never sure. This paining was a pure experiment and I didn't want it to have preconceived notions or personal rhetoric. It was a technical race to the finish, I started with a classical composition and then moved shapes around to define the, “what ifs,” I was deliberately not mining my psychology, I wanted it to just happen. The objective was to operate from an unbiased point of view so the picture would reveal an open ended story of its own. Who is she, where is she, is she leaving or just resting, and so on. I had painted a few like this before but, they were personal so, I knew what they meant. Here, I wanted to see if I could have the same experience that someone else would have if they had never seen the painting. I wanted to be the viewer and see if I could discover things about myself.

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/
