About

I reach for carefree abandon. Immerse myself in stimulating futility. Deviate from the obvious path and explore the oblique. Decontextualize my creative process and make unrestrained mistakes. Document the insignificant, collect spontaneously. Transcend existing patterns, explore random networks. Cultivate singularities, multiply anticipations. Forget today's fundamental shifts. Obsess, confront, produce provocative thought. Celebrate the opposite, be wrong. Stretch my sensibility, urge for limitless boundaries. Overthink, overreact, wander aimlessly. Think absurd, proceed with lightness. Research constructive contradictions. Forget stylistic presumptions, arrive at uncertainties. Stretch possibilities, stimulate frivolity. Go deep, go deeper, work my inner metaphor. Adorn excessively, decorate accordingly. Seek out and explore the unexpected. Embrace the idyllic lightness of art...

My work is the visual result of a continuing communion between myself and reality. I focus primarily on immediate emotions in conflict with and in relation to, its own space. It's my struggle to make permanent, with form and meaning, a visual record of certain abstract flash of life and attempt to make sense of that lived experience...sometimes, it isn't art, it's life perpetuated.

For me, what's important is to determine how the intellectual idea could be materialized eventually into a work of art, but first I need to determine their individuallity. Paintings sometimes deny their physical reality from the eye that view them; they may just be distributions or connections of colored pigments on canvas, yet they create space and image where there isn't any. That image serves as an entrance that we all share through that life experience.

There was a time that I wanted to paint nothing. It was death and I don't think I could ever want to do nothing until I felt it was time for me to move on and create again. It was like a rebirth. Now, it's like I never really finish moving on as long as I'm passionate about something... If somehow I can, before I leave this world, combine my absolutely mad freedom and my endless excitement with truth, then I can say I have done something...with my flavored imagination.
