About The Artwork
This originally started out as a painting of my wife, she didn’t like posing and only stood still for about 30 minutes. The only thing I could capture was an oil sketch and it remained incomplete for years. – We were married by the Justice of the Peace, without any traditional formalities and I have always imagined what she would have looked like in a wedding dress. It’s strange but, I have often felt like I didn’t deserve her and was very fortunate to have married her. I think this is a common insecurity but, there it is. When I went back to finish the painting, I wanted it to have that feeling of uncertainty, a kind of fleeting. I hated to do it but, I had to remove personal attachments. I hid her face because this wasn’t about any one person anymore and made the background ambiguous so it didn’t have a specific place.

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/
