I remember the first time I felt art moving me, through many perceptions and emotions. I was probably 7 ish. I remember being attracted to a Mark Rothko calendar my mom had. Month after month, I was drawn into his compositions. They were simple, yet highly expressive with profound deepness, something I still find so intriguing to this day. The style I’m developing is raw, not to say ransacked. I find inspiration in playing with different materials & textures such as metals, used & discarded furniture, concrete, textured paper, sand, etc. Through the means of spray paint, acrylics, watercolors or digital and printing mediums, I am able to honestly relay the profoundness of what/how I
feel. Jackson Pollock once said ; “I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.”. I like to incorporate abstract and disorganized portions to my art, supported by more graphic and linear content. In particular, by playing with transparency and by incorporating typographic elements. I am not only influenced by the environment and elements around me, but their composition. This is something that has a strong effect on my creative process. I enjoy seeing my piece change over time… both contextually and physically.
