Artist Statement

My exhibition of mixed themes emphasizes the visualization of the place where I exhibit my paintings. Every painting exhibited here is from a particular dream of mine. I am an artist who enjoys painting visions from my dreams as well as energy I get and envision from others. I enjoy painting with positive energy. I mostly use acrylics and, at times I will use oil over canvas in striking vivid colors that capture my visions. Sometimes when I see and feel other peoples’ energy. I get somewhat of an animalistic vibe that I incorporate and blend with that of a humanistic nature to create an image and idea. 

To recognize the great connection with the environment is to recognize how the colors mix with our bodies. We are a mix of colors and flavors that harmonize and mix with the majesty of the earth, our beautiful planet.

 Art is an emotion of the soul, where it transports us to the unknown. It is knowing that reality is a dream, and that dreams are true messengers from our subconscious of a past that interrupts our present. In reality, painting expresses feelings better on canvas, since sometimes words are confusing, because human beings can observe the same object and still many people analyze it differently. I paint to bring love to the world in color. Thank you for enjoying my artwork.
