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…

To begin with, the position of “Kneeling” symbolizes security and comfort. This posture tells a story delving deep into the core of our feelings, where solace and celebration blend.

To continue our journey on this subject. It begins even before our first breath in our mother’s womb—moreover, a realm of security, a universe painted with beautiful images. We are natural swimmers in this cosmos as we dwell within. Yet, as life grows beyond the womb, many of us forget to flow, with potentially dire consequences. The security we once held within us slips away rapidly. And once we emerge into the world, we seldom yearn to return.

This subject materialized during technological advancement as I was engrossed in a spontaneous moment, watching a music video. The actor knelt inside a semi-cave. Further, adopt the same fetal position. It’s a gesture that spanned countless years, touching our shared human experience.

I employed a model to infuse the artwork with emotion in my creative process. The idea also connects to the ancient Inca civilization. Their disease rests in colossal vessels, echoing the fetal embrace of life and death.

This theme also goes back to a time of innocence. A cherished memory of a loved one.  Who introduced me to this profound subject? Sometimes, as we delve deeper into the intricacies of life and its meanings, we encounter with both pain and reward. We navigate a world awash with judgments, and our patience wanes for those who embrace falsehoods.

I have always been deeply passionate about teaching art to children and sharing the boundless possibilities of the creative process.

“Kneeling” is more than a mere artistic endeavor. It’s a testament to the human journey. It reminds us that we find strength and resilience even in our most vulnerable moments. To conclude, it offers solace to the soul and connects us to the universal embrace of the fetal position.
