Kites

Kites are transitioning from Earth to the sky, communication waves. It is a source of releasing our thinking into a creative mindset about expression. Each pattern has six, seven, and eight rectangular forms based on numerology. It points to symbolizing mysticism and spiritual awakening.
The red kites represent change, curiosity, freedom, and adaptability. Reaching the top beyond creates a universe of possibilities. Out there is a vast and quiet world; we long for that peace inside us, away from greed.

Green brings us back to Earth in the forest, and the cord is the connection, for it beholds our soul. It is our curiosity to unveil what’s beyond up there. But then we know our presage is short due to the space chemicals. In the chaos, we have left our institution to go with the spiritual and think of a different portal for a different life. Curiosity is strength, and control is our character. An alerting thought with penitent consequences. Still then again, we fear uncertainty, and the cycle repeats above us.

The kites nurture our souls, reaching prolonged moments that are insatiable. Running away from the cold winter, they disappear and glow in line but then loosen and wave at a time, our life. Nothing is the same. Everything changes. In the end, it does not stay permanent. It is part of our life to fluctuate from one place to another. In short, accepting it makes us receptive and allows us to make mistakes and others the same. Once learned, most transitions fluctuate, just as in this watercolor. There are a lot of kites scraping, and it presages into the unknown.

La Pinata

The pattern’s journey turned into ideas; this was and is a concept in development, and the idea’s impression still exists. The problematic problems of the world without a solution are a never-ending story. It is a painting with political content. In analyzing this painting, the pinata is the peasant hit by the masked person and represents the devil.  It is part of a procession that goes back to medieval times and ancient times by pagans.

It all means by what point of view we want to interpret. Here, the Pinata is in front of the church. Mock rings at the religious in high positions and from being unable to fix the problems. The clown, a significant figure in the painting, is an extension of the social commentary. The people celebrate the food that may come from within. Also, it represents the politicians of high rank who often benefit from the suffering of the peasants.

Inside the creative process, my assistant made a few sketches of mine at my request to work on this idea. Then, I recollected old churches from my pictures and sketches from Ecuador. The Pinata is everywhere in Brooklyn Knickerbocker. There is a Mexican party market where I got my model. I covered his eyes to recreate unawareness toward their people and social bias happening in society. However, it was not as colorful and full of vitality as this one. Moreover, this Pinata and many other series were exhibited at Lehman College as part of my thesis. And nonetheless, a student commented that I repeated the same scene in different views, and I said that it was precisely a series.

All along, the concepts take different paths, such as other points of view in various scenarios. In short, the colors did not change; indeed, they became better and dazzling.

Calm Blue

Calm Blue is an experiment to abandon details. The brain captures fragments of ideas turned into images. So, in deciphering this, it came in a serene blue. Simplicity at its best, the calm Blue is a vast area in rest. Composition is circular and centers in the middle, where everything evolves and ends from experimenting with different techniques to making mistakes; it evolved into a new order. Although it is watercolor media, it Is painted directly from the tubes like acrylic paint. The difference is the opacity underneath the other layer. Not just blues but different blues create a rich depth concept. Many factors make the painting Calm Blue; it recalls that a storm just passed. The turmoil is over and calm as if nothing ever happened. The second is the influence of modern Japanese artists experiencing monotone subjects enlarged and minimized in hues of white and blue. Going back to this subject, calm blue recalls a passive ocean. The debate that nothing comes from nothing is actual. What changes are self-perspective and expression of the events? Where the idea is coming from and goes is meaningful. The Calm Blue relates to the process of living life. Learning to keep calm is not easy. When the storm passed by, it cut electric cables, electrocuted trees, and damaged homes. However, that moment of adversity taught us to find a way to keep calm and safe. Sometimes, life should not be so complicated out there, and we cannot help it because it is not up to us. In short, there is a dark shadow adverting trouble, but as it is, the highlight bubbles divert the problem in the center to a calm blue.
