About The Artwork

Simon of Cyrene finds himself on a crowded street, just moments before he’s ordered to carry the cross. This work is a commentary on modern society based on an ancient passage unfolding before a 21st Century crowd. The painting is filled with symbolism, from the skull of Adam carried by the elders to the flags referencing the eternal conflict between the people of the book. The main character of this work is Simon of Cyrene, he is at the center of the city's vanishing perspective, he represents the historical plight of the black man in the world. What else do you see? Where do we see ourselves? Simón de Cirene se encuentra momentos antes que fuese ordenado a cargar con la cruz. Esta obra es un comentario en nuestra sociedad moderna, basada en un pasaje antiguo que se desenvuelve frente una multitud del siglo 21. La pintura está llena de simbolismo, desde los ancianos cargando el cráneo de Adán a las banderas referenciando el eterno conflicto entre los pueblos del Libro. ¿Qué mas puedes ver? ¿A dónde nos encontramos en la multitud?

Although oils are my primary medium, I love to experiment with a diverse set of mediums and styles. While my works are continually evolving in style and subject matter, the characters within my figurative works reflect a global community, as the human form occupies the central motif of most of my paintings, and within the figure, I give a voice to our humanity. My works are in private and public collections. Through the years my works have been exhibited in the United States, Colorado statewide events, and featured in the US on “Artist CloseUp Magazine, Volume #2”, “Studio Visit Magazine, Volume 51 &52”. On April 5, 2023, I was awarded the Price “The Universal Artist” at the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. My work “Bathsheba” oil on canvas, 36” x 48”, (91,44 x121,92 cm) was selected and published in the 2023 encyclopedic editions of “Contemporary Celebrity Masters Vol. II.” And the “5th International Prize, Leonardo Da Vinci edition: The Universal Artist”
