Artist Statement
My work reflects the distinctness of my artistic perception from those experiences, which provides with vivid colors and physical details those qualities in order to make something visually pleasing, grotesque or different to look at.
Furthermore, I also try to create awareness and express an opinion about our delicate habitat, lack of knowledge about cultural and racial diversity S. America and spiritual concepts.
In my infinite world of my imagination, I tried to convey and stimulate the mythical and spiritual elements of visual expression. My passion in painting started with the magnificence of elements of nature, fauna and flora, and its natural beauty that involve its selective conditions. For example, the majestic animals of the Amazon or Indians from Venezuela called (Guajiros). However, I always try to expand my work to others areas of reality and with a spiritual meaning; therefore, I, occasionally, have the tendency to go from one extreme to another in order to explore, and show the ranges of styles and techniques by creating the most beautiful and delicate components of life to the most complex and strange art.
Fortunately for me, I have the pleasure and the opportunity to experience the richness of many cultures in South and North America, which allow me to expand my imagination even more; it also helps me to understands the differences and similarities of both worlds.
