My artwork attempts to represent reality incorporating elements of realism to depict subjects not simply by focusing on what is obvious to our human eyes but always to imply the emotions behind any given moment throughout expressions or symbolic associations within the characters or elements of each composition. Each of my pieces consists of multiple themes unified and simplified by analogies and personal interpretations, letting the viewer find the contents and relate their experience to each title.
Item Special Note
Artist's Statement:
"For “Despues de todo” “ After All” the piece submitted to the Ashes to Art project, and based on the main subject it has been the first time I have utilized mixed media. Beginning with the Colorado Ashes mixed with Paraffin Oil in order to remember the desperation and darkness of the fires, to later find the lights by carving in the sketch of a girl looking forward and holding a lantern in the middle of the dark. Once the sketch dried, charcoal and pastels brought her a life, letting the hope arise and lead each step to the next as I hope for the all people and areas who were affected by this unfortunate tragedy."
Please note: A $15 fee will be added to the winning bid price for shipping and handling.
