As a child growing up in the Island of
Puerto Rico, I encountered the wild rural life of a small town called Juana
Diaz. Since, this has been the motivating factor of my artwork, composed of
sub-conscience interpretations of mountains, mangos, ceiba trees, caves and
the awareness of being on an island. This is the key part of the process of
my work, which dips into these memories seen through the eyes of a young
kid, where depth of a brilliant sky becomes entangled with leaves, branches,
water, colors, forms and high contrast.
This euphoria of the creative process finds the measuring place in the
tangible material. Two parallels, man and material interact concurrent to
such objective, called art. The complexity of its continuous resurrection
repeats itself in many stages throughout the entire existence in which
materials are being manipulated. By these undetermined or determined
allusions, composed by the surreal and real, singular and plural thoughts
which constantly recall stages of my human experience.
This subjectivity and visual pursuit for the “truth” is which gives birth to
the process and creation, and continues to break esthetic interpretations,
which results into my final art work. Saludos a mis hermanitos en Juana
Diaz, al Joemoro, al Baby, al Ramiro Dasilva, el Pedroco, al Red y al
Marioco, y al Monkey man que se encuentra en Dallas. Su amigo el El Brunaco.
