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.

The Trap II

The Trap II is an image of life experiences, a time of discovery. Although, at times, painful, it reflects a good time now. Out of bad situations, sound comes out. In the trap, the bamboo wall separates two individuals by their emotions. The end of innocence is a distinct separation. Our instincts prove that our mind advises us that it is time to leave. Easy to say, difficult to move on. Adversity turns us into our worst enemy. It glooms over us and makes us feel like we are moving nowhere. But as years pass, we heal emotionally firmly, embracing our reality. Going back to those times is rewarding. Our souls become a shield where nothing is left of that fragile person we were.

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.

La Barca

La Barca beholds a unique interpretation- it stands for “calling the dead.” This concept of a departure in time, a way of saying goodbye to our beloved, sets the tone for our exploration. I invite you to search for clues on this subject. Using colors and composition in the painting is one way to draw you in. The vivid colors are attractive, but there is tension in the water. As the boat departs from above the center, two birds are gossiping in joy. These details form the core of this painting, which is not apparent at first, but once found, they provide a clear understanding of the narrative within.

Notice the green hue, reminiscent of the sky, in the painting. It is not a color we typically associate with the sea but an imaginary color that unifies the realistic forms. Follow the water towards the other side. With this purpose, I visualized a second from our mind while daydreaming. Isn’t it fascinating how the artist has used this unconventional color to create a unique atmosphere?
Perceiving what these two birds manifest at high sea is odd. Crows do not fly on high seas if trained by an owner. But La Barca soothes the moment her beauty is charming and insatiable. We want more, but only layers and colors are awaiting to drown.

I do not limit myself regarding subjectivity. The inspiration comes along with the environment I live in. Although it was dated twenty-four years ago, I love to look back and develop the same idea from different points of view. Sometimes, other ideas are spontaneous and take less time to develop. The first version of La Barca floated in the air, and I lost it renovating. It began cracking, and eventually, the image disappeared. La Barca has just landed and is moving forward eternally
