PAINTINGS

I have a strong interest in the portrait and its surroundings. In my paintings I emphasize how important it is to introduce the figure in a challenging space. The space around the portrait is just as important as the portrait itself. I investigate the division of the painting surface and the relationships of the figure to pulsating color and pattern enviroments.

I enjoy capturing my figures and portraits at a moment in time were they seem to gaze and invite the viewer to get lost in their own world of color. The objects and patterns surrounding the figures create a surreal dream-like environment in many of my paintings. The objects and patterns become significant symbols that reflect the identities of the individuals represented.

SERIES OF LETTER COLLAGES

Each letter is aimed at a very specific being. They vary from people,such as Letter to an Artist and Letter to Mama y Papa, to more abstract entities such as Letter to Barbaras Womb or Letter to the Night. Just like any letter, I think about what I want to say and who I am saying it to. I translate my feelings about the person, being or thing and the emotions that they express into a combination of shape and color. A letter to my lover will convey a very different type of excitement than a letter to Mum and Dad!

Literal words are turned into shapes of color, and specific palettes and structures arrive in each letter. It is exciting to see the finished letter, not only as a form of communicating to the specific person or thing, but it is interesting how the letter also becomes a portrait of the person or thing itself.
