Now I make what I would like to call “picturas”.
That word implies ‘photography’ as well as ‘image’.
These ‘picturas’ are created by literally painting on the photograph. Using these two different media together creates depth.
Fear of the unknown and fear for failure form the basis of each artistic project.
So we are constantly seeking the liberating effect of a result where anxiety is overcome by a euphoric feeling.
