As we journey through it, dynamic brush strokes of blue and the figure of a jockey come into view. We do not need to see everything; our imagination fills the gaps—envisioning a small figure springing into action. This charm draws us into a vibrant visual experience that sparks curiosity. As we observe, we become part of the loop, with each color reflecting life. Light reveals the dark skin of the horse, prompting us to seek beyond the shade. This paradox awakens our perceptions and plays with the idea of audacity, revealing our own reflection.

The image reflects our inner world, guided by the artist’s eye to explore details where every mark adds to the color’s richness. The hand points to the G mark, underscoring our triumph in the creative journey. Each stroke reinvents itself, showcasing the vitality that each generation brings. The loop in time continues to develop, signifying an ongoing race of life and creativity.

Its beauty is in us we take it or leave for nature does not measure our moods it has been there for centuries. Caressing and sheltering us with its unconditional love. Hardships moments in time are learned through self-overcome. the cold view does not measure it blast you and shake you until we learned to live with. Which translates that pain and struggle come with growth and strength consciousness.

As winter’s sunset slips by, it appears almost secretive, with gusty winds stirring the air and obscuring the view, sparking our imagination. The water reflects decaying poles, evoking memories of a bygone boardwalk, where piles stand like vigilant souls against the tide, whispering that remnants of the past still linger, quietly watching over us.

Perhaps time remains, along with vague opacities like the Mist, but our will is still strong. Nature teaches us resilience, urging us to stay awake and purposeful. The Verrazano Bridge stands in the Mist as a giant director, beholding wooden poles with numbers reflecting what is next in our minds, symbolizing endurance and hope for the future.

Love is an incredible force that etches itself into our very beings, connecting us in everlasting ways. While we might experience sorrow in love, know that it truly heals with time. It’s a delightful game we play, where with every gentle bounce of the ball, our resilience only grows stronger!

At Love Tides, we explore the passion that artists pour into their work. It may seem a bit self-indulgent, but every brushstroke is a loving caress that allows us to embrace ourselves. In those exhilarating moments of creation, we unleash a whirlwind of energy and satisfaction. Let go of all your doubts and immerse yourself in the joy of self-expression! Even when love fades from the canvas, the essence remains. The truths we seek aren’t in others but deeply rooted within us. There’s no need to chase after affection; instead, let the vibrant colors of our skin and spirit shine brightly before your eyes.

Take a moment to relish this harmony and empower yourself with newfound wisdom. Remember, it’s essential to nurture and uplift yourself first before spreading love to those around you.

Love can be a beautiful, fleeting moment of peace—one that flourishes when we take responsibility for our happiness. One insightful saying goes, “I long to have love every day, now I cry to leave me alone.” Isn’t that true for so many of us? Love arrives, sometimes taking us by surprise, but we can’t escape its pull. Life is about balance; too much or too little leaves us feeling cold.

This brings us back to the idea of self-awareness. If we embrace change, we can strive for meaningful connections without losing ourselves. Here’s to celebrating those lovely moments in life and relishing the paradoxes that come with it—oh, how fascinating it is! Let’s dive into this journey together, discovering the essence of love along the way.

At night, in solitude, dreams come to our aid, serving as protectors and often providing answers to our dilemmas. Most individuals, demonstrating their initiative and belief in higher powers, seek these answers independently. However, advised by an assigned elder —a shaman who interprets the hidden meanings within.

Upon the front of the bundle, a person assumes a position of humility, ready to partake in a sacred ritual. His devotion to the higher powers knows no bounds, except perhaps death itself. In the Renaissance, the bundle was a symbol of knighthood, a testament to the true warrior’s spirit. It takes profound faith to accept the transient nature of life and letting it go. While conformity has its merits, true acceptance of life’s realities does not lead to resignation, but rather to a state of mind that fosters resilience and high expectations.

Cold and stiff, like an ice alchemy from ancient times rising from the ground, an inactive metal-Lurg, yelling strength. The living memories we once upheld with care, may still flow into the next generations. Becoming their meaning that inspired us in the first place, nowadays belongs to them. The question is, what will they do when the batteries run out and communication of any electric stimulation is cut, leaving newbies isolated from the world? We are still here to save them and pass it on to the others.

Living in New York, you’ll find it everywhere, upcoming vast memory in computers, a significant change we hope to still be living here to watch happen. Torus shapes in reflective forms illustrate the tumultuous city, suggesting awareness. An engagement of ideas on multiple levels, triggering pleasures, that in the end enhance our ability to socialize, learn, and imagine. Flow brings together ideas and places to solve a problem. To effectively regulate our souls.

In short, her natural counterpart has not finished yet, relying on natural sources called creativity in the flow.

Leonardo’s Mona Lisa took five years to complete.  Another artist, as Vermeer did, according to art historians, took months. Nobody knows, only the family.
“Soonah saw the painting, and she cried with emotion,” he replied. Moreover, Miles’ parents were astonished by the painting’s likeness. Layers of peach and yellow, pale and napless, fuse their faces in tones that reflect a porcelain likeness. Straightforward colors from their clothes were rendered with a one-point brush to create patterns methodically, one next to the other, to recreate the look of wet fabric. A simple turquoise background suggests I use a studio camera.

One of our advantages for artists is to work in peace. Soonah could not hold her grandson for long in her arms. Although it has the pose of a camera studio, I manage to turn it into a painting. That is my mark that separates us from the giants around us. Our modern times have allowed us to paint as we wish using better enhancements with a quality canvas and a quality pigment the concept of equality remains in the elements of portrait, such as chiaroscuro, solid forms, hues, and luminosity. In short, the intellect of writers like Borges reveals that there is light in the dark and dark in the light, twisted words to translate in our consciousness to add light to our feelings.

Waiting to participate and having time to build up a friendship is not easy.  Waiting for nothing is the answer; we should surrender our minds, keeping us in command of what we choose to do. Years of brainwashing do not settle anywhere, one more sign that is not new but old in our world. Desire regarding us should not stop us from seeing the positive side of life. Objectively, it prevents us from opening the vast universe of possibilities.

Moreover, on the technique approaches a favorite cantilever composition, where objects with no support create a floating design. The ground is the base, and the objects here feast parallel to the sky; it calls out for delight. As the different forms follow each other, they also build continuity. In progression, there is movement and excitement in this world of horizontal forms.

In time, I persistently created this idea in a time of freedom and joy. The posing model awaits patiently, guarding the entrance, and in the end, gets coddled. However, the excitement of music and games meant her needs were put on hold. No more resigned and aware of the excitement on the other side of the fence, her only guess is to guard the place.

In short, the binding images, along with the subjectivity of the person, collapse, waiting no more, and should stay in memory as the oil pigments on this canvas.

It is the language through symbols over past years and generations yelling knowledge. Carved signs are a medium to communicate beliefs as well as to document the past.  Arrived harmony yearn for an infinite journey. Waves on the sand interlaced with diamond shapes up to the sky to signal their arrival. The tower directs us to our cycle of life; what uncovers is our faith within us.

Whether we carry it or not is our commitment in this world. We may be here or not, but life goes on. It goes back and forth, for sure, in cycles passed down to the next generation. Veil and Un-veil “Arrived” invites us to participate in looking through its oasis of peaceful calm. In every direction, a sanctuary where no wars, jealousy, vanity, and hate are out of the question. You entered not just for its beauty but also with love. Which, in the end, has the power to unveil the profound in the simplest moments.

The inner we lose while trying to achieve our goals, we owe it to God.  It is the light of nature, and human creation is also the pillar that unifies us. The quest for balance is arduous. It does require years of experimentation, and with that comes experience. In short, with boundless vigor, Arrive is our faith and our alma matter guide. To release and place in order our thoughts.

Enlarging small objects on a large canvas is minimalistic in disguise. The shadow portrayed a figure representing adversity. Other people acting negatively are wrong, and we must be alert.

Finishing this piece was challenging because still life is meant for appreciation and study among art students. During this creative process, disguise looked shallow and meaningless. It needed to have a message, and it did not come by magic but by challenge.

There is so much envy out there, and problems make me see life not like roses but as a balance where we all can challenge it to make a better world. I saw her petals casting a shadow, not belonging to her. It arose in my imagination that she seemed to whisper her name. The stand holds a few spines for something so delicate as her beauty, which could stab and badly hurt us.

In short, the main point is in the wrong choices we make and have in front of us. It may follow us to the end of our days or finish now. It takes courage to talk about it and let it go. Then, it will come and pass by the beauty in life.

The Road to Pascua sparks joy in warm colors, sparking energy within the Road and its surroundings. Standing in a mist-shaded equinox denotes another world we do not understand and is based perhaps on faith. Moreover, the symbols on their ground and tunics emulate binary language referring to technology we may not understand.  A trip to Santiago recreates a narrative event that shows figures settling on the ground in our present time. Other sources used include the Crop Circle that appeared in Wilshire, United Kingdom, which completes the composition on the ground. Then, turning it backward into haloes on their faces recreates signals. In the previous painting, a couple was posing in front of the sun. Here, the main subjects are the models communicating energy waves to the sky. Signals like the symbols in Nasca convey a clear message.

In short, the Road to Pascua is a beauty surrounded by mystery. Step into it, and feel your body’s clean age begins, for there is no contamination in the air. It is where secrets are ready to unfold, but it is better to leave it alone. This is in part because anything we touch is destroy, it maybe we are afraid to, or we are not ready to see the truth.

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…

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.

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.

The Trap II was born in a week of spontaneity in Florida. The bamboo wall, with its myriads of gray and blue tonalities, emerged without the need for intricate details, a testament to its creation’s raw, unfiltered nature.
Moreover, there was a palpable sense of freedom in the air, a feeling that I was charting my own course. This independence did not hinder me from bringing this subject to life.
As intricate as the pebbles on the ground may appear, I meticulously crafted them in three distinct tones: the top, a light brown; the front, a blend of brown and blue, where a reflective light dances; a shadow, of deep, grounding brown. Shapes evoke a sense of movement.
The place is in Ecuador, where I grew up, and I go there every summertime vacation. It is close to the Ocean, not exactly a place where you can swim. In short, is suitable for enjoying.

Domes from the church no longer exist. The fire burned down the domes many years ago. The place dates from colonial times in Ecuador. All along. The Picador stands for its endurance through time; looking back at this painting makes me see in perspective the evolution of my artwork. The patterns are my source of communicating the meaning of each painting.

This early subject has many components in parallelism. Andrea Mantegna’s stage composition inspired it. It beholds the mood in the arrangement; one object holds to the other as thought fragments. Although the Picador is the main subject, the direction he points out with the spear to the kids signals a game. Then, images bounce back, and your eye begins watching encircling images from many angles.

The hung meat symbolizes the end of the animal; it is cruel and fatalist because it could be the Picador, who may be dead in the end. Notice that the Picador horse is a ceramic made from the ancient Incas. Overall, blue colors fill the sky and, in part, reflect the tonality on the church wall. Still, Sepia dominates most of the painting to recap the idea of an old, not-forgotten time.

This reminds me of a time of freedom, innocence, and enjoyment. It is in our nature to feel free to connect with our memories and wish those moments return. In short, the images continuously trigger the mind in our consciousness to remind us of the moment.
