No one is 100% mentally healthy. Mental processes precipitate life’s chaos.
My artwork is an exploration of consciousness and mental processes. Each work demonstrates a different operation of the mind. Some are darker, like the airless feeling of a panic attack, and some lighter, like the feeling of hope and fulfillment.
Since childhood, I have been focused on analyzing human behavior and I’ve come to realize that people often don’t have the help they need. I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the human condition. What starts out as vision soon becomes manipulated into a dialectic of distress, leaving only a sense of chaos and the likelihood of a new beginning. They might find themselves in a dark hole, but there is always light when one surrenders to this darkness. This action holds the possibility of transcendence.
The pieces of art I make start as inspirations based on an initial concept. The world around me is my most direct inspiration. It may be the visual of some place. A printed word. A phrase heard. A person. All the information my senses receive, produces seeds that propel and create my magic.
Then I play with sketches on paper and feel how I want to express it on the physical plane. All my artworks are the result of an idea that is born internally in my soul and then it is materialized in every stroke of my hands.
After that, I analyze which materials I want to use to express my thought. And there begins the process of collecting paints, canvases, brushes and all mediums that I need to use.
Finally, I let my soul expand through the surface and I flow with the process.
My aim is for these works to connect. I want people to recognize themselves in the images and open to the possibility of moving beyond resisting discomfort to a place of surrender.
