About The Artwork

¿Por qué existe la maldad en los hombres? ¿Por qué el ser humano daña a sus semejantes? Esas preguntas laten fuertemente en la mente de todos los que han sufrido por la maldad ajena. Yo, solo he podido encontrar una sola respuesta. El hombre esta imposibilitado. Por eso pinto al hombre errante, vagando sin rumbo, porque no tiene donde reposar su alma, o mas bien, no quiere; la petrificación de su conciencia, la fosilización de sus ideas, su obstinación, han hecho del hombre el ser más irracional de este mundo. Veo en artistas como El Greco, Rembrandt, Goya, Beethoven, Berlioz y otros que de alguna manera sintieron esto. Si no lo vieron en otros, lo sintieron en ellos mismos. Y aunque en muchos casos, sucumbieron a las presiones del hambre y la necesidad de dinero; con todo, nos dejaron obras que de una manera u otra nos revela el dolor y la amargura de estar imposibilitado. La vocación de todo artista, es transferir sus sentimientos, hacer resonar las cuerdas sensibles de la humanidad, remover sus entrañas, estremecer el alma de su semejante, hacer que la magia de lo infinitamente bello palpite aun en el momento más desértico y árido de su existencia. Que en los momentos más oscuros y desgarradores brille una luz impenetrable, ilegible, profunda. El arte suele tocar con sus manos las cosas mas tristes y feas del universo y volverlas bellas y agradable. Más aun, el arte, puede expresar con toda crudeza las barbaries y terrores de la humanidad, y con todo, son asimiladas y disfrutadas sin el acostumbrado morbo que suele despertar todo lo que no es arte. En mi caso, es mi meta, trasmitir mi visión del hombre y sus estados espirituales. Lamentar nuestra imposibilidad; llorar nuestro infortunio, gemir nuestra desolación. Decir que el hueco en el alma del hombre es tan grande y profundo que no lograra llenarlo ni con todo lo que en el mundo hay. Aquí expongo parte de mi alma, lo que soy, lo que pienso y lo que siento. Aquí presento la estética de una “esperanza muerta”, de un hombre perdido, canto dolido de un amor banal, el lamento sumergido en las profundidades del alma humana. Aquí expongo el espiral, la rueda sin fin en la que viven los Imposibilitados.

Each painting I create tells the story of an immigrant, my story. The sound space of my painting is part of my imaginary world. My painting and my music reflect my entire being. In these 20 years doing art, I increased the expressive resources in my artistic work. I started with a series of drawings in 1997; Today my work has a visual and a sound space. By working these two artistic disciplines, you can transfer to a dimension outside the two-dimensional plane of the painting and the sound dimension. The forms of each of the arts, music and painting have not been found between music form, music form and pictorial form. They do not move on the same sensory level. Instead, as content, within the same work, if they manage to merge and impact the senses of the spectators. That is one of the achievements of cinema since its inception, in the so-called Silent Cinema, music accompanied the cinematographic images. In this sense the Cinema was silent, but not deaf. I advocate a painting that breaks with the deafness in which he lived for many centuries. The work of Kandinsky has been a very important contribution in this sense, in his work "The Spiritual In Art" he says: “... The most modern musicians, like Debussy, create impressions often taken from nature and transformed into spiritual images by purely musical means. That is why he frequently interacts with the Impressionist painters, arguing that, like them, he uses in a very personal way the phenomena of nature as the object of his creations. The truth of this statement shows that in our time the arts learn from each other and that their goals are often similar ...” Later he also says: “... Gradually, the different arts are finding their own space and exclusive means of expression. Paradoxically, it is thanks to this diversification that the arts are so close to each other in recent times, in this last hour of spiritual change of course ...” It is precisely in this idea that I support myself. Obviously, our time has continued to evolve since Kandinsky left us his thoughts. The art that we know today as contemporary art, the old conceptions of what is understood by Art; even, the idea that Kandinsky understood by art. With contemporary art, the idea of "FORM" changes its connotation. Even so, the spiritual element of art does not change; and it is in that plane where I believe, that the content of a pictorial image can be fused with a sound space, melodic sea or purely sound.
