Forever

Forever display a couple in front of the sun inviting us to look at in intricated geometric lines. The floor is the stage, reflection and comfort. This is the first extended idea that started eight years ago, and his content inspired in nature. A new technique emerged, and I expanded through memories. The pale sky reflects a fossil-like fish recreating a shape like an engraving technique. The mirror effect comes from previous experimentation with glass windows. Alternate shapes we can see inside and outside through transparency. Thanks to the metallic marker I succeed in re-creating a flash effect from the front light.

Moreover, the colors are warm, with a few cool tones highlighting a point of rest. Onward, the composition resembles a binary world filled with lot of information to dig into. Likely resembling the subject’s personality and community, full of energy and ground touching. Ever last posing in front of the sun. Technically I easiest details to fade and balance composition having in mind how we perceived information.

By The same token, the psychology of choosing male and female as my subjects comes from our digital era. The constant phone camera shots bridge acceptance as part of society. Security or insecurity resilience does not approve of anybody from creating. As good as just eating food or posing in front of the sun. After all, there is only one Forever shot in our life, to caress for. From now on, anything that is in the present becomes the past. Ultimately, as long as we are contemptuous, the rest doesn’t matter.

Thank you…

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 evolved into ideas; this was and remains a concept in development, and the idea’s impression persists. The world’s persistent problems without a solution are a never-ending story. It is a painting with political content. In analyzing this painting, the piñata represents the peasant hit by the masked person, who is often seen as a symbol of the devil.  It is part of a procession that dates back to medieval and ancient times among pagans.

It all depends on the point of view from which 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. People celebrate the food that comes from within. Additionally, it represents the high-ranking politicians who often benefit from the suffering of the peasants.

During the creative process, my assistant created a few sketches at my request to explore 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 a state of unawareness toward the people and social biases 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.

Throughout, 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.
