Sueño Lúcido No.3 Painting

Lucid dreaming as its name implies, is a state in which the individual is aware that he is dreaming while sleeping. Among many their qualities Shamans characterize by developing the ability to spiritually unfold in the dream to enter other dimensions. Lucid Dream No.1 represents the experience that a Shaman goes through to establish contact with the spiritual world. The composition of this piece is a reinterpretation that refers to the different stages through which the Shaman consistently and deliberately passes within the dream to achieve the transcendental journey. At the same time, my objective is to capture the aesthetics of the clothing designs that women from many indigenous communities make and whose symbolisms have to do with those mystical experiences acquired by their spiritual guides, generally incarnated by Shamans. My intention is not to copy but to inspire myself and reinterpret patterns of indigenous art and create my own abstract version of what indigenous art is for me and its influence on contemporary Western civilization. PAIS MARAVILLA is my most recent series in which I try to synthesize each aspect that makes up Mexico, choosing specific concepts that speak of my experience as a creative, the meaning they have in my life and the role they have had in my work as an artist. As in all my projects, I dedicate years of research, however this is the result of my own experience, so it took only two years to shape it, however I consider that due to the extensiveness of the subject, it will take me perhaps other two years to finish executing all the pieces that make up the complete series. This is a very personal and intimate project because I touch the roots, the light and the darkness of what it means to be Mexican, and it precisely makes the Wonder Country my most ambitious artistic project, because as never I get involved in a catharsis process more intense than never experienced, I try to encompass one of the widest cultural ranges of the human race, and synthesize it within an aesthetic framework that encompasses "painting, sculpture, installation, object and extended sculpture." Each subject, each object, each painting has to do with my own experience of Mexico; of its smells, its flavors, its colors, its emotions, its shapes, its sounds, its climates and above all, its people. Lucid Dream No.3 is an original mixed media artwork on canvas measuring 190cm x 190cm x 5cm.
