Cimientos Painting

STATEMENT I paint movement as a form of memory. In the city—crosswalks, lights, cars—I’m drawn to the anonymous choreography that gathers and disperses us: layers, glazes, and erasures that reveal the passage of time more than a fixed form. At the shoreline I work with open space and minimal marks: figures appear and fade on wet sand like possible presences. Between these two registers—the dense and the austere—I ask the same question: how do you paint what happens while it is happening? My work oscillates between figuration and abstraction to hold the pulse of the everyday: reflections, trajectories, pauses. I don’t portray places; I stage experiences—a weave of light and flow where the individual and the collective touch for an instant.
